This is the moment a police van was set on fire as riots broke out near a hotel used to house asylum seekers in Dublin.

Officers were also attacked with missiles and fireworks as protesters gathered at the Citywest Hotel last night.

Six people were arrested and the Irish police service, the gardai or An Garda Siochana, said one of its officers suffered a foot injury.

In a statement, the force said: 'This was not peaceful protest. The violence exhibited was thuggery and an attempt to intimidate and injure.'

The violence followed the alleged sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl near the asylum site in the early hours of Monday morning.

Protesters were filmed displaying Irish flags and chanting. Some of the crowd also threw stones at the gardai.

A large crowd remained in the area until after 9pm and public order officers with shields, and some on horseback, prevented protesters from reaching the hotel.

A number of those involved in the disturbances had their faces covered.

1. Why choose the Daily Mail as your source, if you know it's long been a biased source?

You could use The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/oct/21/police-car-set-on-fire-in-protests-outside-dublin-hotel-housing-asylum-seekers

or CNN/Reuters: https://edition.cnn.com/2025/10/21/europe/anti-immigrant-protests-dublin-latam-intl

or Irish sources:

2. The art of discussion and debate is vanishing here,

I get criticized for not providing links for my opinions and yet I see articles from right wing sources cut and pasted with little or no comment from the poster. I am not specifically talking about this post, just posts in general.

The Hill is used as a source quite often, The Hill where John Solomon posted over 2 dozen articles promoting Stop The Steal.

4. So rather than going with reliable reporting, you went with the reporting from a source you don't like

and used a hundred year old song to explain that your OP may or may not be trustworthy?
