Gardaí want stations secured against attacks at night

GARDA stations should be locked at night, a representative body for members has said, after a man was questioned in connection with a foiled arson attack at a station in north Dublin.

Michael Kirby, president of the Garda Representative Association, called for urgent talks with management about security at stations following the latest in a series of attacks.

A 58-year-old man is believed to have walked in to Raheny station carrying materials to make a petrol bomb. It is thought he lit a fire in the public area, which set off the fire alarm.
