rioting in Dublin

RTÉ, BBC. Mildly disappointed to note that the BBC reports it as a "Republican riot"; it's no more a Republican riot than the annual May Day fracas is a socialist riot. Per the Irish Times coverage, which I'm not linking because they're a registration-requiring shower of suckweasels:
The violence that swept O'Connell St in Dublin is spreading to Kildare St as a protest against the Love Ulster Parade appears to have been hijacked by rioting youths and a lesser number of republican demonstrators.
(my emphasis).
