The sinister Telegram voice note that incited the Dublin riots just hours after a horrifying knife attack on three schoolchildren has been revealed.

‘Bally [balaclava] up, tool up… and any f***ing foreigner, kill them’, was the disturbing call to arms that ‘Kill all immigrants’ sent to a private group of self-proclaimed Irish ‘patriots’ called ‘Enough is Enough’ at 5.22pm on Thursday.

The riots were fuelled by unsubstantiated online rumours that the person behind the knife attack – which saw three children and a woman injured – was a foreign national.

As many as 500 thugs gathered close to some of the city’s most iconic locations, some waving flags and brandishing signs reading ‘Irish Lives Matter’. Shocking scenes saw police officers attacked, with around 50 sustaining injuries – one of whom faces having a toe amputated – while buses and a tram were torched, with one driver punched and dragged from his cab.

‘Kill all immigrants’ began his one-minute tirade by attacking the Garda, the Irish Police force. ‘If there is any guards in this group you can go f*** yourself as well. You have blood on your hands you f***ing accommodated…’ he said.

He added: ‘If they start acting the b***ix, we just make a load of little small groups, have one, say at O’Connell Street. Have one up at Grafton Street, have one at Smithfield. They can’t control us all.

‘Let’s have little groups splintering off, doing what we got to do. Seven o’clock, be in town,’ the mob leader demanded.

‘Everyone bally up, tool up. And any f***ing g**o, foreigner, anyone, just kill them. Just f***ing kill them.

‘Let’s get this on the news, let’s show the f***ing media that we’re not a pushover. That no more foreigners are allowed into this poxy country.

‘No f***ing more. Enough is enough. As the title says, this is it, this is the straw that broke the camel’s back. You touch our f***ing kids and this is the repercussions. And no Garda, no politician is going to stop us.’

As this audio was sent to the far-right group, less that four hours after the attack which left a five-year-old girl seriously injured, tensions were already spreading across Dublin city centre.

The audio was met with an immediate and unhinged demands for violence against immigrants that ‘blood needs to be spilt’.

One man named Robert Rodriguez replied to the voice note: ‘GOING AND NOT ON MY OWN AND NOT WITH HANDS EMPTY!

‘REMEMBRE [sic] OUR HISTORY! THEM GARDA ARE SCUM, THEY KNOW IT! BUT THEM FOREIGN B*****DS, BLOOD NEEDS TO BE SPILT TONIGHT IN THE NAME OF THAT CHILD!!!’

Police said the unrest was fuelled by a ‘complete lunatic faction driven by far-right ideology’, after rumours about the attacker’s nationality spread online.

It has since been reported by the Irish Times that the attacker had lived in Ireland for some 20 years.

Damage to public infrastructure in Dublin from the disorder could cost tens of millions of euros to repair, Irish premier Leo Varadkar said.

The Taoiseach added that the knife attack and the violence which followed had brought ‘shame on Ireland’.

On Friday a visible and heavy police presence was seen in the city centre amidst fears a second night of rioting could follow. 

Gardai made a number of arrests on O’Connell Street in Dublin city centre as it was announced that legislation allowing Garda officers to use body-cams would be fast-tracked.

Police in Ireland are trawling through 6,000 hours of CCTV footage as a major investigation into riots in Dublin city centre continues.

The violence in the Irish capital on Thursday – which involved far-right elements and saw Garda cars, buses and trams set alight and shops looted and damaged – flared after a knife attack on three children and their care assistant outside a school in the north inner city.

There were a small number of arrests on Friday evening as gardai mounted a significant security operation around the O’Connell Street thoroughfare to avoid a repeat of the violent scenes from the night before.

Amid criticism of the Garda response to the riots, Government ministers met and heard that legislation to facilitate the use of body-worn cameras by police officers will be fast-tracked.

Justice Minister Helen McEntee also told colleagues that officers are trawling 6,000 hours of CCTV footage and vowed that further arrests would follow the 34 already made.

She also insisted that the police force has all the resources necessary to keep people in Dublin safe over the weekend, including securing the use of two water cannons from the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI).

Ms McEntee also rejected a call from Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald for her and Garda Commissioner Drew Harris to resign.

She said: ‘If Sinn Fein wish to debate law and order, if Sinn Fein wish to debate how we can support the gardai, I have no problem in standing over Fine Gael’s record of law and order, Fine Gael’s record of supporting members of An Garda Siochana.

‘I do not believe Sinn Fein can stand over their record.’

Mrs McDonald said there had been a ‘an unacceptable, unprecedented collapse in policing’ and that a problem leading to Thursday’s riot had been ‘building for months’.

A five-year-old girl injured in the knife attack outside a school remained in a critical condition in hospital on Friday while the female care assistant, in her 30s, was in a serious condition.

The two other children, a five-year-old boy and a six-year-old girl, suffered less serious injuries. That girl remained in hospital on Friday but the boy has been discharged.

Gardai said a man who sustained serious injuries at the scene is a person of interest in their investigation.

Politicians and police have hailed as heroes members of the public who intervened to halt the attacker at the scene on Parnell Square East, including a Brazilian Deliveroo driver.
