It is not 100% certain what exactly began the riot, however it would appear a number of the people have gathered after rumours originating from Irelands ´National Party’ claimed that the attacker was a migrant. Garda (Ireland’s police service) commissioner Drew Harris stated that “We have a complete lunatic hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology, and also then this disruptive tendency engaged in serious violence”.
