Children stabbed in Dublin city centre **Read OP before posting**

100 percent. Lock them up in cold jails half stave them and have them out spitting rocks 14hours a day.any politicians who come out and propose some kind of justice reform would get my vote .build a new prison and get new judges ffs.these scrotes are taking over the streets all over the country.

Where were these so called protesters when an Irish teen stabbed a harding working mother of two to death outside the IFSC why weren't they rioting. looting and protesting then.

In France it doesnt happen on the Champs Elysee does it? That prob has something to do with it.

The same garbage was propagated amongst the eejits across the water, look where they are now.

Why use a "probably"? for someone offering advice on a situation, how do you equate "probably" with knowledge of the subject you seem keen on trying to impart?

Have you asked the Guards how they feel?

What exactly are the EU telling you to do that is so objectionable? Have you seen your MEP about this? I found mine very helpful and found that my "EU problem" wasn't an EU problem at all, it was simply my bank playing the blame game and blaming the EU for their shortcomings. It was common in the UK for everyone to blame the EU for all kinds of fiction, but this was the AIB.

I don't think there are too many immigrants in Ireland, I find those that I come into contact with quite a pleasure to deal with. One of the things I find so attractive about the country is its welcome for those from around the world as well as the generosity it has in sharing its citizens with other nations around the planet in turn. It was a sheer pleasure to meet up with Irish people as I travelled the world when working.

Maybe it isn't a popular approach in modern times to look on One's fellow men as equals, but it certainly provides peace of mind.

If you want some positivity, Ireland is actually one of the safest places in Europe - certainly when you look at the murder rate.

The relative rarity of truly shocking crime (plus our relative surfeit of media outlets for a small country) means that such crimes tend to get outsized coverage and commentary.

Don’t even consider this!!!

There shouldnt be anyone growing up in tiny flats in the city centre in 2023.

We're historically a country of mass emigration and now we have people saying there are too many immigrants in the country.

Christ almighty.

You seem to be acting under the presumption that the looters and rioters last night are operating on the basis of just needing to be listened to and they'll all become a real sound bunch of law abiding lads.

Those who are predisposed to this kind of behaviour will find reason to behave that way whether there are foreigners about the place or not. The only sensible discussion to be had right now is how to ensure that we enforce the rule of law and to make clear to all wrongdoers that this disgraceful behaviour will have consequences.

Temple Bar was also a junkie-filled bus parking lot in the 80s....Dublin was a lot grimmer in those days. Actually grimier too - remember the coal smog?

'Good old days' me hole!

you don't protest when its one of your own!

pure and simple the trouble in City centre yesterday was the result of opportunistic scumbags who saw a chance to cause trouble, riot and loot.

This thread should be split into one about the heinous stabbing of children and carers and another about scumbags who rioted yesterday. they are 2 separate incidents.

It's blatant trolling and doesn't deserve a response.

It’s an unprecedented event in terms of scale- the last time I saw anything similar or close to this were the 1981 hunger strike riots on Dawson st and surrounds - most people posting here weren’t even born then or too young to remember.

So naturally it will get wall to wall coverage - I hope though that it doesn’t become the norm- if we have a generation of scrotes who’ve decided that rioting around the time when shops are fully stocked with the latest styles of 1000 euro jackets and 300 euro runners whilst pretending they “care” about the ethnic make up of Irish society, then it’s only the beginning of something very new to these shores
