The Irish Prime Minister tonight, condemning riots in Dublin. Dozens of people arrested with those riots erupting after the stabbing of five people, including three children yesterday. Police blaming far right agitators for the violence in a crowd that grew to roughly 300 people. You can see some of this here, the riots right in the city center. Totally chaotic here. Burned out busses, trains, looted stores. Sadia chowdhury from our partners at Sky News is in Dublin.

It is very nervy here in the city tonight, as it has been throughout the day. We're on the street where some of that violence took place. Behind me is the school where that first attack took place. And, of course, there was then that street violence that ensued in the aftermath. And there is this real feeling that anything can happen at any time. And I think that is there's a sense that when a bunch of young lads walk past, people tend to get a bit nervous. But we have to remind ourselves it is just a Friday night, people are out and about. Some people have been drinking. It is perhaps typical behavior, but I think in the context of what happened yesterday, a lot of people see what happened yesterday as having come out of nowhere. And so they don't know if tonight is safe. There isn't that sort of Bobby on the beat kind of police presence that you might expect. But certainly there are cars, I can see one now, a garden vehicle which has its blue lights on, and we've had them pass through. But the T shark has insisted that it is safe.

He's urged people to come into the city. Remember, it is Black Friday today, so it should have been a lot busier than it is. But many of the shops are closed. Some have boarded up their windows, whether that's from the damage, or in anticipation, perhaps, that there could be another night of unrest. But he has called on people to come into the city, insisting it is safe, saying that the violence that took place last night took part in a very small part of Dublin and that it was controlled very quickly. Many people, of course, disagree with him. But this isn't a typical Friday night. This, I'm told, is a night when Irish families typically watch this television program at 09:00 p.m.. And they turn on Christmas lights together. It is meant to be a very festive time for the city and for the country, but it has become a very somber mood, of course, all of this while that five year old child remains in hospital in a critical condition. Tonight, a visual taking place for her and other victims of yesterday's attack. And support service has been set up to help anyone affected.
