Ireland’s Justice Minister Helen McEntee said she was ‘appalled’ by the scenes at Coolock.
Major disturbances at a site designated to house asylum seekers in north Dublin have been described as “reprehensible” by Taoiseach Simon Harris.
“No person has a right to burn cars, damage property or attack members of An Garda Siochana and emergency services.He added: “We should not accept them being legitimised in any way by describing them as ‘protest’. The protest camp was set up several months ago to prevent workers from renovating the premises, with people there around the clock.
Traffic was diverted from the area and one of the city’s main arteries, the Malahide Road was closed.Pictures from the scene showed a number of people being detained by Gardai.
