A young man who took part in riots has been sentenced to prison.

Príosún gearrtha ar fhear óg a ghlac páirt i gcíréibeacha.

In Dublin Circuit Criminal Court, a young man who pleaded guilty to taking part in anti-immigration riots in the city last year and setting fire to a Luas tram was sentenced to four years in prison – the latter suspended.

I gCúirt Chuarda Choiriúil Bhaile Átha Cliath, gearradh ceithre bliana príosúin – an ceann deireanach ar fionraí – ar fhear óg a phléadáil ciontach i bpáirt a ghlacadh i gcíréibeacha in aghaidh na hinimirce sa chathair arú anuraidh agus i dtram Luas a chur trí thine.

That's Evan Moore, a 20-year-old apprentice electrician, from Grangemore Road in Donaghmede in north Dublin.

Sin é Evan Moore, leictreoir faoi oiliúint 20 bliain d'aois, as Bóthar na Gráinsí Móire i nDomhnach Míde i dtuaisceart Bhaile Átha Cliath.

A Garda told the court that Evan Moore had been incited to violence on social media and had ignored his mother's pleas not to enter the city centre on the night of November 23, 2023.

Dúirt Garda sa chúirt gur gríosaíodh chun foréigin ar na meáin shóisialta Evan Moore agus gur thug sé neamhaird ar achainí a mháthar gan dul isteach i lár na cathrach oíche an 23 Samhain 2023.

It was said that he broke a window on the tram and dragged a bin that was already on fire into it.

Dúradh gur bhris sé fuinneog ar an tram agus gur tharraing sé isteach ann araid a bhí trí lasadh cheana.

Luas services had to be suspended for twenty-four hours due to the arson and it was estimated that €5 million worth of damage was caused to the tram.

B'éigean seirbhísí Luas a chur ar fionraí ar feadh ceithre huaire is fiche mar gheall ar an loscadh agus áiríodh go ndearnadh luach €5 mhilliún de dhamáiste don tram, a dúradh.

It was not until six months later that Gardaí arrested Evan Moore while taking part in an extreme right-wing protest.

Ní go dtí sé mhí ina dhiaidh sin a ghabh na Gardaí Evan Moore agus é ag glacadh páirt in agóid de chuid na heite deise antoiscí.

The young man had never been convicted before and was said to have deeply regretted what he had done.

Níor ciontaíodh an fear óg riamh cheana agus dúradh go raibh an- aiféala go deo air as a ndearna sé.

It was also revealed that he had completed an anti-racism course.

Tugadh le fios freisin go raibh cúrsa frithchiníochais déanta aige.

Judge Orla Crowe said she took all of that into account when considering the sentence she would impose on the offender.

Dúirt an Breitheamh Orla Crowe gur chuir sí é sin ar fad san áireamh nuair a bhí sí ag déanamh a machnamh ar an bpianbhreith a ghearrfadh sí ar an gciontach.
