A family have been left homeless after their Drimnagh home was petrol bombed last night – Cllr. Daithí Doolan

Sinn Féin councillor for Ballyfermot/Drimnagh, Cllr. Daithí Doolan has said that a family have been left homeless after their Drimnagh home was petrol bombed last night.

Cllr. Daithí Doolan, a local resident, said:

“A family have been left homeless after their Drimnagh home was petrol bombed last night.

“This attack is unacceptable and should never have taken place. Those responsible must face the full rigours of the law.

“Drimnagh has had to endure a number of violent incidents in recent months. This latest attack is an attack on the whole community in Drimnagh. But those behind this awful act will not succeed in intimidating us. This is a strong community and we won’t be easily scared.

“Our community deserves better than this. We urgently need more Gardaí. Unfortunately the Minister for Justice Helen McEntee has failed to provide adequate Gardaí to protect residents in our communities.

“I would strongly urge anyone with any information to please contact the Gardaí. It is essential those who organised this attack are arrested and face justice.”
