Hundreds of people took to the streets, causing damage to property and transport infrastructure that ran into millions of euro.
A 20-year-old man who caused millions of euro worth of damage to a Luas tram during the Dublin riots has been jailed for three years.
Evan Moore, of Grangemore Road, Donaghmede, Dublin 13, admitted setting the tram on fire and also pleaded guilty to charges of rioting and breaking windows.
After the stabbing of a child near a school on Parnell Square on the 23rd of November 2023, a large anti-immigration protest quickly turned violent.
Hundreds of people took to the streets, causing damage to property and transport infrastructure that ran into millions of euro.
Evan Moore was one of them.
He was caught on CCTV, pushing a burning bin onto a Luas tram, causing almost €5 million euro in fire and related damage.
To this day, Judge Orla Crowe said the Dublin riots still represented a stain on the city.
She noted Evan Moore's guilty pleas, his otherwise clean criminal record, his young age at the time, as well as his remorse and efforts to address the anti-immigrant sentiment he got swept up in by racist commentary online.
However, she still felt a custodial sentence was warranted, and he was jailed today for three years.
