Thatcher 'sick' at second arson attack on historic building

A master tradesman who only finished thatching a 200-year-old pub in Co. Louth before the roof was set on fire for the second time in just three months said he was 'sick' on learning about the arson attack.

The former historic pub in Drogheda had only been restored after a five-year local campaign when arsonists first hit in February.
