Gript Media can confirm that the person of interest in today’s stabbing incident in central Dublin, which left four people plus the assailant – including three children – injured, is understood to be an Algerian national.
Official sources confirmed to Gript late this afternoon that the person of interest – who remains in a Dublin hospital and is understood not yet to be well enough to face garda interrogation – is believed to have originated from the North African country. However, sources also stressed that this is a working assumption, which may yet change based on an analysis of documentation.
If his documentation has to be analyzed thoroughly, this basically rules out the earlier claim that he's an Irish citizen who has lived in the country for 20+ years.

At a press conference this evening, An Garda Sīochana released a statement in relation to the incident which took place in the vicinity of Parnell Street, Dublin earlier today. At that press conference, Gardai declined to comment on the nationality of the person of interest, or any other information relating to him.
Let's be honest here: does anyone doubt that if he was an Irish-born citizen, this info would have been released days ago?

Gardai did stress that while the investigation is at an early stage, a terrorist motive is not currently suspected.
Sure, randomly stabbing a couple of children is not a terrorist act, just the act of a mentally disturbed individual. Just a tragic, but isolated case. Move along, nothing to see here.

That being said, looting and setting stuff on fire are not legitimate or acceptable forms of protest. If you're protesting against savagery, it might help your case to not act like savages yourself.
