Gardaí are building up “a pool of information” from separate investigations into 19 unexplained fires at properties linked to asylum seekers, which could reveal if there are any links to prominent far-right agitators.

The Irish Examiner understands that gardaí have identified around 15 “online players” with a significant profile in right-wing extremism in Ireland.
