Today, on the streets of Dublin, a number of known troublemakers converged on a street party.

These know trouble makers were intent on turning a peaceful, party featuring music, dancing, twister, drum playing, face painting into a riot.

Unprovoked they began to attack people peacefully sitting on the ground, dancing, filming and partying. A number of these known trouble-makers had previously been spotted at protests on Car Free Day and otuside the Burlington.

They have a track record of turning peaceful protests violent.

Teenagers and even children were amongst those brutally attacked by blue bloc members. Members of this group were even seen driving a van into pedestrians. Others kicked and punched peaceful people who they through to the ground.

We can all sleep safely tonight, knowing that our money is paying for the these trouble makers to attack us in a concerted attempt by the Gardaí Siochána (Guardians of the Peace) to start a riot.
