18 people identified after Dublin riot images published

A further 13 of the 99 people highlighted by gardaí as "persons of interest" in relation to the Dublin riots last year have been identified following a public appeal.

Five of them were identified on Tuesday after the release of CCTV images.

It brings to 18 the number of people identified since the appeal was made.

Gardaí said the purpose is to identify the "persons of interest" to either rule each individual "in or out" of the investigation.

Detectives gathered more than 17,000 hours of CCTV footage which is still being reviewed following the violence in the city centre on 23 November 2023.

More than 60 shops and businesses were attacked and looted, buses and garda cars burned out, transport disrupted and 13 gardaí were injured.

An Garda Síochána said it has received a very significant response to the appeal for information and is continuing to seek assistance to identify the 85 people whose images remain on www.garda.ie.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the investigation team at Store Street Garda Station on 01-6668000 or by email at store.street.public@garda.ie.

Information can also be provided via the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111.
