Anyone have any idea whats going on. Seems strange. Apparently no signs of a road traffic accident

I read on Facebook that two men were fighting and one was pushed over the railing into the Liffey. No idea how true that is.

Read on twitter that there is multiple ambulance so I thought there was a large number of people involved

Been wondering about this too - got a new notification but no details, and Google Maps shows traffic seriously disrupted across most of the north city centre including Capel St., Parnell St. and Dorset St. almost to Drumcondra.

We have plenty of our own who know how to use a knife

Fairly common around Europe now, that Irish lecturer killed in Paris a few days ago for insulting the big Mo by a Pakistani lad and three more stabbed today in mulhouse, all women one with her 10yo daughter, so common it's not really big news anymore!

Same people will disappear off the thread soon enough

Bollocks, that's exactly what you are hoping for.

The whole thing was reported with typical censored fashion so yes my first thought was some lunatic doing something. We have open borders, a police force who's only job is as enforcers of the Revenue and corrupt Judiciary. I don't wish for a terror attack on Ireland but it is not a matter of if but when because we are sitting ducks right now.

There are many news reports claiming he insulted the paedo prophet.

Friend of mine was there. Heard something about snackbars being yelled.

Something tells me that this incident is world away from a university lecture being stabbed by an extremist muslim student!

I really hope you and the person that thanked your post research this a bit better! Just Google it, the killer has said his motivation was that he believed he insulted Mo, I can't post links yet but it's in all the main news sources. Here's a quote from the Irish mirror.

"Irish lecturer John Dowling had allegedly ‘insulted the Prophet Mohammed' beforebeing murdered in cold blood outside the Paris university where he taught, his killer has told French police."

Can I ask you why you thought this was fake news?

This is what happens when confectionery companies lower the quality of their product.

Just wait for the outrage when people see the Cadburys Roses have been reduced again.

Seems like some people here were hoping for it to be a Muslim fella doing the stabbing so they could bring their racism more into the mainstream.

What censored fashion was it posted in? The fashion of sparse details to a breaking news story? Or something more sinister where big media is trying to control the narrative?

I reckon you do wish.. and really wish and hope it is by someone with a skin tone a shade darker.

Look, even if this wasn't, and the 3 women stabbed in a French train station also had nothing to do with radical Islam you can't really blame people for entertaining the idea can you? I mean it is the European jihadists go to, I am gonna guess you wouldn't be overly offended if someone hypothesized a white guy with right wing leanings responsible for a school shooting if news broke?

That part of the city is a well known hub for locals with issues with hard drugs. Seen lots of dealers hanging around there over the years. The site for the injection centre is only a few minutes away from there.

Just open Google, type a few relevant key words, I suggest "irish stabbed France insulting" and BOOM! Loads of links!!

according to news reports where this happened is along the South Quays, that entire place resembles an episode of the Walking Dead the best of times.

Its a sad place alright. They all congregate mid/late afternoon to secure a room in the Merchant Quay for the night, a lot of them harmless souls but then the small time pushers call around to take advantage of the addicts amongst them.

There was a stabbing on the street there in September also

Odhinn

"Motorists are being urged to avoid Dublin city centre due to heavy traffic following a stabbing incident on the south quays earlier this evening.
At around 4.40pm a man in his late 20s suffered stab wounds following an altercation on Essex Quay.
He was later taken to St James's Hospital. His injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.
A man and woman - both in their 20s - were arrested at the scene."

He's basically saying that you and your friends are just waiting for a Muslim to hurt or kill a person here in Ireland so you can justify your hatred of them. That when the actual perpetrator turns out not to be a Muslim you lot don't seem to care as much if at all.

Last time I passed by that exact area on a day trip to Dublin I seen a group of 4 men having a little sing song at about 5pm. Such a musical city is Dublin. Charming.

Not entertaining. Wanting it to be. Big difference there.

Also, the school shooting comparison is stupid. Stabbing of one person does not equate to shooting up a school. Also, obviously stabbings like this are much more common than as a schooling.

Immigrant-haters wake up every day desperately hoping that lots of white people will be murdered by a Muslim.

Rooms or clean needles? I thought that centre was for clean needless etc. You can see the dealers at the corner Merchants quay and Winetavern street.

It's a strange attitude, I never said I thought the Dublin one was at the hand of a radical Islamist, that's always going to be more likely a traveller issue or junkies etc, simply because Ireland has a fairly low population of potential jihadists, but yeah, I am not ashamed to say that if I hear of a stabbing/mass attacks I am going to think it's a high probability of being Islam inspired, if I am wrong on that it wouldn't make me a raging racist or anything, it would just be a statistical outlier on that occasion, obvious caveat for some city's like London stabbing = 90%+ black teen gang issues etc. Like I said earlier also I guess you guys wouldn't be so outraged if people were guessing a white teenager with a history of right wing affiliation was responsible for a mass school shooting? Why does criticisms/analysing of Islam outrage so many people even on simple statistical analysis etc?
