After riots broke out in Dublin, Ireland following the stabbing of several people, including children, Garda Commissioner Drew Harris said the events were due to “far-right ideology.”
Some claim rioters took to the streets to protest mass migration, as the knifeman was allegedly an Algerian migrant.
Harris said the violence stemmed from a “hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology.”
