ROAD

7 April: Dublin, Ireland

A bus was set on fire on Lanark Way in Dublin near the junction with Shankill Road, according to local police and news reports. Photos from the event showed people on both sides of a gate throwing items across. Some of those items included petrol bombs. Protests and unrest amid rising Brexit concerns are being blamed. Union anger about police not prosecuting leaders of the Irish nationalist party Sinn Fein for allegedly breaking pandemic restrictions during the funeral of a former IRA figure were also cited.
