34 people were arrested after the incidents in the Capital yesterday.
The violence witnessed on the streets of Dublin last night will have to be addressed at the source, and that source is coming from social media platforms.
That's the perspective of Longford Westmeath TD and Minister of State Peter Burke after riots followed a stabbing incident in Parnell square yesterday.
Speculation and misinformation about the stabbing and the State's response to the subsequent violence spread on social media throughout yesterday evening.
The Fine Gael rep says the problem is getting worse:
The Finance Minister says those who rioted have caused enormous reputational damage to the country.
Michael McGrath says his thoughts are with those affected and Gardaí will get whatever resources they need to deal with such criminality:
Tánaiste Micheál Martin says last night's violence doesn't represent our country as a whole:
The Sinn Féin leader has no confidence in the Justice Minister or the Garda Commissioner.
It follows the Dublin riots last night, where number of Garda vehicles, Dublin buses and a Luas were set on fire.
Dozens of Gardaí were also assaulted in the unrest.
Mary Lou McDonald says she cannot have confidence in Helen McEntee or Drew Harris:
