Ireland's prime minister, Leo Varadkar, condemns the anti-immigrant rioters who caused chaos in Dublin following a knife attack that injured three young children. Police made further arrests to prevent a repeat of the disorder, with 34 people already apprehended. The violence erupted after rumors circulated that a foreign national was responsible for the attack.
