Citywest riots, race and the right

A week of protests has taken place outside the Citywest
accommodation centre in Dublin, including violent rioting which
saw four Gardaí injured and multiple arrests.


The protests began after an alleged sexual assault on a ten year
old girl in the vicinity of the hotel last weekend. A man has
been charged in connection with the assault and remains in
custody.


Terrified international protection applicants including many
Ukrainian women and children remained indoors at the centre,
while residents in the Saggart area were unable use public
transport or access local shops on Tuesday and Wednesday nights
due to the violence.


What started the disturbances, who’s rioting, and who’s been
stoking it up online?


Irish Examiner Security Correspondent Cormac O’Keeffe joined
Deirdre O’Shaughnessy for today’s episode of the Deirdre
O’Shaughnessy Podcast.
