Gardaí have renewed their appeal for information in relation to a suspected arson attack at a hotel in Co Galway that broke out days before it was to be used to house asylum seekers.
The blaze took place at a disused hotel in Rosscahill, where 70 asylum seekers were due to be accommodated as the State struggles with a shortage of housing.
