Statement by the Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration Jim O’Callaghan TD

I condemn the criminal attack on a building accommodating people applying for international protection in Drogheda last night.

Fireworks were thrown into the building, causing a fire and putting lives at risk. This was a terrifying ordeal for the women and children living there, a number of whom were taken to hospital.

Alternative accommodation is now being sourced for the residents affected.

A full Garda investigation into this arson attack is underway. There will be serious consequences for those responsible.
