Justice Minister Helen McEntee has said some protesters “know exactly” who is behind suspected arson attacks on buildings and urged them to come forward.

Gardaí and the Government have been grappling with a series of incidents at premises rumoured to be used for asylum seekers, with the Minister for Finance warning on Thursday that there is a real risk of someone being killed.
