The Finance Minster has warned there is a real risk of someone being killed in an arson attack, as the gardai and government grapple with a series of incidents on premises rumoured to be used for asylum seekers.

It comes as the government was accused of doing “almost nothing” in response to the escalation of attacks on properties earmarked for housing refugees.
