Three boys arrested by Gardai investigating City West disorder

Three boys arrested by Gardai investigating City West disorder

Three boys have been arrested by Gardai investigating disorder near a hotel housing asylum seekers in Dublin last month.

Demonstrations, which descended into rioting, were held outside the Citywest Hotel in Saggart after an alleged sexual assault on a 10-year-old girl in its vicinity in the early hours of October 20.

A 26-year-old man, who cannot be named because of legal restrictions, has been charged over the alleged incident.

On the night of October 21 and 22 there were stand-offs between protesters and the Gardai, who were struck with fireworks, stones and other debris.

In a statement An Garda Síochana said investigators carried out searches in south Dublin on Friday and arrested three juveniles under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act.

To date, 36 people have been arrested in relation to the disturbances and Gardai are appealing for information to contact them.
