IRISH Prime Minister Leo Varadkar has condemned anti-immigrant rioters who caused “huge destruction” in the centre of Dublin after three young children were stabbed.

Mr Varadkar said today that the far-right protesters wanted to cause chaos, not protect Ireland’s way of life.

Police arrested 34 people on Thursday night after up to 500 people looted shops, set fire to vehicles and threw stones at police officers.
