Litany of arson attacks linked to asylum stretches back to 2018

The former primary school on the Rocklow Road in Fethard, Co Tipperary, was burnt out on January 3. The Department of Integration had no plans to use the building, and gardaí said they were aware of 'possible misinformation, disinformation and rumour' about the premises. 

A quick search for the word ‘Leixlip’ on TikTok brings  up a video taken on the grounds of a vacant property. The video, which was posted on January 25, incorrectly tells social media users that it would be “receiving unvetted foreign men this week”.

The top comment on the video starts with four fire emojis followed by: “Uno what ta do.”
