Woman due in court over bus arson during Dublin riots as gardaí make nine more arrests

A woman is due in court this morning charged with arson in connection with the riots in Dublin city centre in November 2023.

She is facing charges related to criminal damage to a Dublin Bus on O’Connell Street Lower during the riots on November 23, 2023.

Her appearance comes as gardaí confirmed that nine individuals were arrested over the weekend and into this week as part of the ongoing investigation.

The arrests made between Sunday, May 4 and Tuesday, May 6, include three adult women, four adult men, and two male juveniles.

Two of the women have been charged and released on station bail pending court appearances at a later date. The two juveniles were released with files to be submitted to the Director of the Youth Diversion Programme.

The remaining three individuals were released without charge, with files to be sent to the Director of Public Prosecutions.

To date, 85 people have been arrested or interviewed in relation to the disorder, with 66 charged with offences.

Gardaí say that 24 of the arrests so far have come directly as a result of a media appeal issued in November 2024.

Investigations are ongoing, and Gardaí continue to appeal to anyone with information to contact Store Street Garda Station on 01 666 8000, the Garda Confidential Line on 1800 666 111, or any Garda station.
