Gardaí keep open mind on cause of factory blaze

Gardaí say they’re keeping “an open mind” on how a fire started at a former factory in Co Cork.

It took fire brigade crews from three different stations several hours to put out the fire at the former Seafield Technological Textiles factory in Youghal, only for it to re-ignite yesterday.

According to gardaí, smoke was spotted pouring out of the building, which is close to Perks amusements, on the Cork Road, at around 1pm on Wednesday.
