A five-year-old girl and a woman in her 30s were seriously hurt in the attack on Thursday afternoon.

It happened on Parnell Square East in the city centre, outside the Gaelscoil Choláiste Mhuire school.

A man in his 40s who was also seriously injured is a person of interest, police said.

They added that they were not looking for any other people at this time and are following a definite line of inquiry.

Sources have indicated to the BBC that the man suspected of carrying out the attack is an Irish citizen, who has lived in the country for 20 years.

Ch Supt Patrick McMenamin said more than 400 officers remain on patrol after the disorder, which he blamed on "gratuitous thuggery".

"Some of my colleagues were attacked and assaulted, thankfully none were seriously injured and I commend them all on their bravery to protect our community," he added.

It is unclear how many arrests have been made, but Irish Justice Minister told Irish national broadcaster RTÉ that it was a significant number.
