The US Bureau of Counterterrorism has described the Dublin riots of 2023 as “three days of white supremacist rioting” fuelled by disinformation from “Irish white supremacists and ultranationalists” in its latest reports on terrorism internationally. The bureau says it leads the US Department of State “in the whole-of-government effort to counter terrorism abroad and to secure the US against foreign terrorist threats”. It included the Dublin Riots in its Country Reports on Terrorism 2023 which was published last month. Ireland was included in a category titled White-Identity Terrorism/Racially or Ethnically Motivated Violent Extremism. The report states: “In November [2023], Irish white supremacists and ultranationalists online spread disinformation regarding the nationality of a stabbing suspect arrested after stabbing two adults and three children. This anti-immigrant disinformation led to three days of white supremacist rioting in Dublin, inuring police and bystanders.” The bureau said the it includes “all credible information about white-identity terrorism (WIT), including relevant attacks, the identification of perpetrators and victims of such attacks, the size and identification of organizations and networks, and the identification of notable ideologues”.
