Six people were arrested in Dublin during anti-immigration protests triggered by the alleged sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl by a 26-year-old asylum seeker. The protests turned violent, with police attacked and a police vehicle set on fire. Prime Minister Micheál Martin condemned the violence and acknowledged the public's concerns about the incident, highlighting failures in the state's duty to protect the child. The protests reflect a growing trend of anti-immigration sentiment in Ireland.
