Jail sentence for man who set fires in wheelie bins to heat sleeping bag while homeless

A former homeless man who set fires in wheelie bins to heat his sleeping bag has been sentenced to three years in prison for arson at two Dublin locations.

Garda Martin Folan accepted at an earlier sentence hearing in December 2017, that Dwayne Barry (30) had set the bins alight so he could wrap his sleeping bag around them and that he had tried to put out the blazes when they got out of control.
