Círéibeacha sa phríomhchathair: os cionn 30 duine gafa. The Commissioner of the Garda Síochána Drew Harris has revealed that 34 people have been arrested so far in connection with the riots in the center of Dublin last night. Tá sé tugtha le fios ag Coimisinéir an Gharda Síochána Drew Harris go bhfuil 34 duine gafa go dtí seo faoi na círéibeacha a bhí i lár Bhaile Átha Cliath aréir. Commissioner Harris confirmed that eleven Garda squad cars, two public transport buses and a Luas tram were burnt in the blaze. Dhearbhaigh an Coimisinéir Harris gur dódh aon scuadcharr déag de chuid na nGardaí, dhá bhus iompair phoiblí agus tram Luas sa choinscleo. A number of Gardai were also beaten, one of them badly, he said. Leonadh roinnt Gardaí freisin, duine acu go dona, a dúirt sé. Fireworks, bottles and other material were thrown by Gardaí around the crossroads between O'Connell Street and East Parnell Square near where a man with a knife attacked children and a woman with a knife at lunchtime yesterday. Caitheadh tinte ealaíne, buidéil agus ábhar eile le Gardaí thart ar an gcrosbhóthar idir Sráid Uí Chonaill agus Cearnóg Parnell Thoir in aice leis an áit ar ionsaigh fear dreabhlán páistí agus bean le scian ag am lóin inné. People were outraged by the attack and it is believed that right-wing extremists incited them to surrender to the Gardai. Bhí daoine corraithe faoin ionsaí agus táthar den bharúil gur ghríosaigh antoiscigh ón eite dheis iad le séirse a thabhairt faoi na Gardaí. The Gardaí also say that others took the opportunity to go wild, and commit vandalism and robbery. Deir na Gardaí freisin gur thapaigh daoine eile an deis le dul i bhfiáin, agus loitiméireacht agus robáil a dhéanamh. According to Chief Superintendent Patrick McMenamin it was "a livelihood for a livelihood". Dar leis an Ard-Cheannfort Patrick McMenamin gur "bithiúntas ar son an bhithiúntais" a bhí ann. Condemning the disorder, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar said that it is estimated that around 500 people were involved in the riots. Agus an mí-ord á cháineadh aige, dúirt an Taoiseach Leo Varadkar go meastar gur thart ar 500 duine a bhí páirteach sna scliúchais. Many Gardai are on duty in the city center today, including members of the Public Order Unit. Tá go leor Gardaí ar dualgas i lár na cathrach inniu, comhaltaí den Aonad Oird Phoiblí ina measc. Gardai are carrying out forensic examinations at various locations in the city and road traffic is still prohibited on O'Connell Street and in the Parnell Square area. Tá scrúdúithe dlí-eolaíochta á ndéanamh ag na Gardaí ar ionaid éagsúla sa chathair agus tá cosc go fóill ar thrácht bóthair ar Shráid Uí Chonaill agus i gceantar Chearnóg Parnell. The General Secretary of the Garda Síochána Association of Sergeants and Inspectors, Antoinette Cunningham, has condemned the riots. Tá na círéibeacha cáinte ag Ard-Rúnaí Chumann Sháirsintí agus Chigirí an Gharda Síochána, Antoinette Cunningham. She said Gardai were shocked by the violence in the capital last night and claimed they were under-resourced to deal with it. Dúirt sí go raibh Gardaí suaite ag an bhforéigean a bhí sa phríomhchathair aréir agus mhaígh sí nach raibh dóthain acmhainní acu le dul i ngleic lena leithéid. It is not good enough for Justice Minister Helen McEntee to continue to claim that there are enough Gardai in Dublin, says Antoinette Cunningham, when every Garda knows that is not true. Níl sé sách maith ag an Aire Dlí agus Cirt Helen McEntee coinneáil uirthi ag maíomh go bhfuil dóthain Gardaí i mBaile Átha Cliath, arsa Antoinette Cunningham, nuair atá a fhios ag gach uile Gharda nach bhfuil sé sin fíor. Gardaí are regularly brought in from other divisions to assist their colleagues in the capital, she said.
