Public transport systems in Dublin to face disruptions today

Last night's riots brought public transport to a stop.

Following the riots in Dublin city centre last night, which saw a Luas tram and a bus set ablaze, public transport systems will be significant disrupted today. Footage of escalating tensions began to circulate on social media last night following the attack outside a Dublin primary school, with scenes of protesters gathering around the Parnell Square/O'Connell Street area stopping the passage of public transport and Garda vehicles. https://twitter.com/NickyRyan_/status/1727971695477354526
