Riots. Nothing is known yet about the attack and its motives, but we know the motives for the riots.
The Irish are very, very good at PR (and being highly defensive when being criticised). It's the only place I've lived or visited that I've experienced real xenophobia, and homophobic attacks (yet they bang on about legalising gay marriage and opinion polls on the support of it - this is my point exactly).
Also with their housing crisis, the tides have turned, and they're not so pro-immigration/pro-refugee now.
The Palestine thing IMO is mostly Irish people identifying with a weak country being bullied by a strong neighbour, which is unsurprising given Ireland's history
Plus you can be in favour of self-determination while at the same time being anti-immigration, or discriminating.

The BBC says otherwise:
> It is understood that included false claims that the attacker was a foreign national.
> Sources have indicated to the BBC that the man suspected of carrying out the attack is an Irish citizen in his late 40s who has lived in the country for 20 years.
> Brazilian Caio Benicio was riding past the scene in the city centre on Thursday afternoon and stopped to intervene.
> Mr Benicio has been living in the Republic of Ireland for the past year and works as a fast-food courier for Deliveroo.
Do you really think that's saying otherwise? It's almost a confirmation.
Statements like this pour oil on the fire. "See, you can't trust what the BBC says."
