McEntee: Group using arson to 'sow division and fear' in communities

An arson attack was carried out on a building in Ringsend in Dublin which had been earmarked for housing members of the homeless community.

Justice Minister Helen McEntee has said that a "group of people" in Irish society are committing criminal arson attacks on properties as a means of "sowing division and fear through intimidation."

Ms McEntee said that An Garda Síochána are doing "everything possible to investigate recent attacks of arson around the country".
