Gardaí believe the “wrong house” was targeted in an overnight arson attack in north Dublin, which has left a woman fighting for her life and a juvenile with serious injuries.

While it is early in the investigation, detectives suspect the botched attack is linked with a violent local feud, driven by personal, rather than gang, motivations.
