Referring to the violent incidents that took place in Dublin on November 23, the website of the Workers Party of Ireland points out:
"Yesterday’s appalling events in Dublin can scarcely come as a surprise.
People were, of course, shocked at the horrific knife attack on innocent school children and their teachers , but this was not the reason for the orgy of reactionary violence in which workers were attacked, shops looted and public services and their workers, including first responders, targeted and abused.
