Riots in Dublin city centre on Thursday night saw buses and trams burned, shops looted and several garda vehicles damaged.
Garda members were injured, one seriously, as 400 officers responded to the unrest.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar described the estimated 500 people responsible for the disorder as hate-filled, violence-loving cowards.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris has blamed far-right “hooligans”. Gardaí have so far arrested 34 people in connection with the riots.
The violence flared after a knife attack on three schoolchildren and their care assistant outside a school in the north inner city at about lunchtime on Thursday.
A five-year-old girl is in a critical condition in hospital while the female care assistant, in her 30s, is in a serious condition.
The two other children, a five-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl, suffered less serious injuries. That girl remains in hospital but the boy has been discharged.
Gardaí said a man who sustained serious injuries at the scene on Parnell Square East is a person of interest in their investigation.
A clean-up operation is now under way after the disorder, with burned-out Luas tram carriages lifted off the track by cranes and broken glass and missiles swept off the streets.
Here are some photos of the city centre taken on Friday morning.
