Five people have been charged following a protest in Newtownmountkennedy on Thursday night.
It comes after the Public Order Unit was called to a house in Co Wicklow which had been earmarked for use as accommodation for asylum seekers.
Six people in total were arrested last night following the deployment of the Public Order Unit.
Three men and one woman have been charged with public order offences and are due in court later today.
Another man was charged in relation to the Non-Fatal Offences Against the Person Act. He is due in court at a later date.
A teenage boy who was arrested has been released without charge, with a referral being prepared for the Youth Diversion Project.
Garda Commissioner Drew Harris spoke after visiting the site in Newtownmountkennedy where three patrol cars were also damaged.
"There were very unacceptable scenes seen here in terms of a protest, which then turned to violence," he said.
"We've seen an attempt to burn a small outhouse type premises, but also then disgracefully attacks on members of An Garda Síochána who were attacked with stones and indeed vehicles have been damaged, and one vehicle, the vehicle behind me, was damaged with an axe.
"As we can see with a normal patrol vehicle, both front window and the rear window have been smashed with an axe, not a hatchet, a full size axe.
"And also then we've had another vehicle lights broken and the Public Order vehicle with its tyres slashed."
Commissioner Harris said there were also "attempts to injure members of An Garda Síochána".
"Rubble and stones were thrown from fields and members had to deploy in protective public order equipment and shields to make sure that they could protect themselves from the assaults upon them," he added.

Kenny is abhorrent on his ivory tower with his millions.

Not in your estate though Pat? You are the first to reject and object to new builds let alone hundreds of migrants being dumped beside your home.
271 |
I lasted 30 seconds. Not listening to these lies about innocent peaceful protesters
218 |
Propaganda Pat same man who campaigned and done legal proceedings in his own area
255 |
Well pat plenty of free land beside your house, stuff all the migrants there
217 |
That's one piece of spin right there Pat. You're calling Irish people protesting outsiders because they're not local? While the gov is pushing ACTUAL outsiders on our doorsteps? ... since when do protesters have to be local? Where the farming protesters that shut down ST. Stephen's Green with tractors a few years ago all from Dublin City yeah?
221 |
you should not label irish people as outsiders. They are Irish. They stand up for their country people.

Pat is supposed to be impartial, he’s just a mouthpiece. I was left until only a few years ago, now I support everyone and every action taken by these supporters against this illegal immigration trafficking
94 |
And the excessive heavy handed approach by the Gardai ? Or the pepper spraying of a member of the press ???
195 |
Would expect anything else from the disgusting main stream media.
175 |
Look at the bigger picture, this country won't be Ireland in the future the way things are going. Stop blaming the concerned citizens
109 |
Stop the lieing.
96 |
How can you justify media being pepper sprayed and call yourself a journalist Pat?
243 |
He's dead right on one thing ....this is going to escalate...all around the country....
240 |
Newstalk again! The worst propagandists in my opinion.
18 |
I could never imagine the lovely people of Newtown mount Kennedy people trying to protect their area and the black and tans in riot gear spraying them with teargas shame on the government
173 |
From the USA I agree with the citizens of Ireland standing up to this garbage. It’s bad here too with no end in sight.
17 |
Stand up Ireland and don’t mind this propaganda
49 |
"A large number of people coming in" doesn't he mean single men

The audacity to call them outsiders, when the country is being flooded with outsiders who came illegally.
