Police Have Not Named Suspect in Stabbing That Sparked Dublin Riot

Posted on | November 24, 2023 | 2 Comments

Various online sources say it was an Algerian immigrant, but I’m not finding that from any official source:

Gardaí [i.e., Irish police] investigating the stabbing attack on children in Dublin city centre have searched the accommodation of the chief suspect in the case.
The man’s laptop and telephone have also been seized for searching as gardaí try to establish a motive for the attack.
The suspect, who is in his late 40s and is a naturalised Irish citizen, has lived at different addresses around Dublin.
Gardaí believe he is a single man with no children in Ireland, where he has lived for about two decades. As the motive for the attack, at about 1.30pm on Thursday on Parnell Square East, has not been established, gardaí have not ruled out a mental health episode or a terror-related link.
Garda sources said the suspect for the stabbing at lunchtime in Parnell Square East was seen loitering in the area and when children were being brought into an aftercare centre, he lashed out at them with a knife. He stabbed a five-year-old girl in the chest and an aftercare worker was also stabbed as she attempted to use her body to shield the children from the attack.
Two other children, a boy aged five and a six-year-old girl, were also injured and taken to Crumlin children’s hospital. The boy was treated and quickly discharged while the girl remains in hospital.
The five-year-old girl who was stabbed in the chest has undergone emergency surgery at Temple Street hospital and remains in a serious condition while the injured woman is also in a serious condition in the Mater Hospital.

The stabbing provoked a riot, which Irish politicians and media denounced as “far right,” as if being angry about immigrants stabbing children is some kind of extremist political position, rather than an entirely natural attitude. The fact that police have not named the suspect or said what country he is from could be interpreted as confirmation that he’s a Muslim/Arab, but it’s best to avoid such speculation.
