Burning of TD’s car ‘is an attack on society’

The fire-bombing of the car of a TD who has spoken out against the far right and anti-asylum seeker rhetoric has been condemned as an “attack on democracy”.

Sligo-Leitrim TD Martin Kenny’s car was set ablaze in the driveway of his home, in Augahavas, near Ballinamore, Co Leitrim, at around 2.30am on Monday. He and his family were asleep inside at the time.
