MMA fighter Conor McGregor had some harsh words for Irish Police Commissioner Drew Harris on Thursday after riots broke out in Dublin over a knife attack which left several children injured.

Speaking to reporters, Harris condemned the “disgraceful scenes” in Dublin, which he blamed on a “hooligan faction driven by far-right ideology.”

On the stabbing incident which sparked the riots, Harris said, “I’m not going to speculate any further in respect of a terrorist motive. Until we’re sure what the motive is, we have to keep an open mind as to why this happened.”

Reacting on social media to Harris’ remarks, McGregor wrote:

Innocent children ruthlessly stabbed by a mentally deranged non-national in Dublin, Ireland today. Our chief of police had this to say on the riots in the aftermath. Drew, not good enough. There is grave danger among us in Ireland that should never be here in the first place, and there has been zero action done to support the public in any way, shape or form with this frightening fact. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Make change or make way. Ireland for the victory ?? God bless those attacked today, we pray ?

Riots broke out in Dublin on Thursday evening after several children were injured in a stabbing outside of a school in the city.

While the identity of a suspect in custody has not yet been revealed, viral social media posts on Thursday claimed that the attacker was Algerian. Police have not made public the nationality of the suspect.
