Gardaí to examine actions to combat drug supply in prison after petrol bomb attack

The attack took place overnight on Monday, during which a front window was smashed and a petrol bomb thrown in, but no injuries were sustained

The Garda investigation team, led by a senior investigating officer, is consulting with both the Irish Prison Service and specialist units in Garda HQ.

Gardaí are to examine all recent activity taken by the intelligence unit in a Dublin prison to combat drug supply and other criminality, after a petrol bomb attack on the home of a prison officer.

While it is understood that investigators have “nothing concrete” yet to identify possible suspects, they believe the work of the officer in the unit “may have upset” dangerous criminal figures.
