Last Friday the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation (NBCI) commenced a major investigation into incitement of hatred over the violence that broke out.

There have been no arrests yet in this strand of the investigation.

“Gardaí are examining posts that Conor McGregor made to determine if this led to anyone being later incited to commit criminal acts,” a source said this week.

“However there are a lot more people than him who are being investigated for allegedly inciting those riots including plenty of who might be described as so-called ordinary members of the public who were not previously known to gardaí.”

Gardaí are examining a number of people in relation to this investigation, several of which are described as “the usual far right agitators” who were inciting hatred online on Thursday and encouraging their followers and associates to travel into the city centre.
