South County Dublin Home Of Riot Suspect Raided By Gardai

The Justice Minister Helen McEntee will give the cabinet an update on the riots in Dublin at the weekend as gardaí call for more support to deal with such events.

Meanwhile Gardai raided the South Dublin home of the man suspected of launching fireworks at the riots. Reports today say fireworks were seized at the property in Mounttown yesterday.

58 year old shankill Dentist Fergus Cahill and his son Caoilte were among thirteen people charged over the riots. According to the Star newspaper, Caoilte denied he was right wing and that he was a filmmaker there to document the events.
Minister McEntee is also seeking approval to extend the visa-free travel ban from South Africa and all South American countries, which had been due to expire, with no definitive end date.
It comes after the Seanad passed the legislation on mandatory hotel quarantine yesterday evening.
