As of Friday, an estimated 34 people have been arrested in relation to the riots.

"There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH," McGregor posted on X, the company formerly known as Twitter.

Irish Justice Minister Helen McEntee said that those who rioted did not do so for immigration purposes and labeled them as "thugs" and "criminals."

"There was a protest earlier that was a general peaceful protest, but a separate group then [came] with an intention to seek and wreak havoc," McEntee said.
