Significant criminal damage has been caused since Monday evening, when hundreds of people gathered at the hotel in west Dublin after a 10-year-old girl was sexually assaulted by an African migrant who had received a deportation order in 2024.
Gardaí say there has been a significant impact to local community and services in the Saggart and Citywest area, particularly with public transport severely affected over the last two nights.
An investigation into these serious Public Disorder events, on Tuesday 21 and Wednesday 22, is ongoing and An Garda Síochána continues to review CCTV images and An Garda Síochána Body Worn Camera (BWC) footage with the intent to identify persons involved in identifiable criminal activity, in addition to carrying out Forensic examinations at a number of locations.
