Irish police say Dublin incident appears to be standalone attack, not terror related

Irish police said on Thursday they were satisfied that an incident which left five people injured in Dublin was not terror-related and appeared to be a "standalone attack".

"(Police are) satisfied from our inquiries that there is no terror-related activity ... in relation to this matter. It would appear to be a standalone attack, and we need to determine the reasons behind that," police superintendent Liam Geraghty told reporters near the scene.
