Search on for arsonist who threw petrol bomb through pub window

GARDAÍ are searching for an arsonist who early yesterday threw a petrol bomb through the window of a pub in a north Cork village.

Detectives working on the case say it is very fortunate that the petrol bomb didn’t cause extensive damage to the St Leger pub at Main Street, Doneraile.

At around 3.00am, somebody threw a rock through the window of the pub. They then lobbed in the petrol bomb, which exploded inside.
