Running Battles In Dublin
Updated: 16:06, Saturday February 25, 2006



Several police officers were injured as rioting erupted in central Dublin over a disputed unionist parade.

Hundreds of republican demonstrators opposed to the Love Ulster rally involving Orangemen and relatives of IRA murder victims fought running battles with gardai.

Security lines were attacked with fireworks, rocks, bottles and metal barricades. At least four officers and a journalist were injured.


Cars were also set alight close to Leinster House, the Irish Parliament buildings, amid heightening violence.

All shops, in one of the city's main retail districts, shut their doors as the thugs went on the rampage.

As the trouble worsened the parade through Dublin city centre was cancelled.

The violence has been condemned by Irish PM Bertie Ahern who said: "There is absolutely no excuse for the disgraceful scenes in Dublin.

"It is the essence of Irish democracy and republicanism that people are allowed express their views freely and in a peaceful manner."
