Gardaí assessed the violence in Citywest as far more organised and planned than rioting in Dublin city centre two years earlier. Nearly 300 gardaí were deployed to respond to the incident. The deployment followed a protest linked to the alleged sexual assault of a 10-year-old girl. The alleged assault took place in the grounds of a former hotel that is now accommodating asylum-seekers. The protest escalated into an outbreak of violence. The scale of the response reflected concerns about public order and the organised nature of the disturbances.
