Luas tram up in flames amid disorder in Dublin

A fire broke out inside a damaged Luas tram as violence continued on O’Connell Street in Dublin city centre on Thursday (23 November), after three children and a woman were attacked near a school earlier in the day. Labelling them “disgraceful scenes”, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said a “complete lunatic faction driven by far-right ideology” is behind disorder in the capital. This comes after an attack unfolded shortly after in Parnell Square East, near the Irish-medium primary school Gaelscoil Cholaiste Mhuire, which left five people injured.
