Monaghan County Council and local Garda bosses have issued a joint appeal to motorists to obey road safety laws when travelling over the course of the Easter Bank Holiday weekend.
Three animals were killed after a house was targeted in a firebombing in Dublin last night.
An elderly woman also had to be rescued from the house in Drimnagh after the suspected petrol bomb attack.
Emergency services were alerted to the incident before midnight and members of the Dublin Fire Brigade (DFB) extinguished the fire.
A number of people were inside the property at the time and while significant damage was caused to the house, no injuries were reported to any persons.
It’s understood that neighbours helped an elderly woman out of the house and removed her to safety.
The Irish Independent understands that a number of pets, including two cats and a chinchilla, that were in the house at the time were killed as a result of the blaze.
Detectives are investigating the circumstances surrounding the attack and are attempting to identify a motive for the firebombing.
A Garda spokesperson said: “Gardaí are investigating an incident of criminal damage by fire at a residential premises in Drimnagh, Dublin 12, yesterday evening, Saturday 30th March 2024.
“No injuries have been reported. DFB attended and extinguished the fire.
“The scene is currently held for technical examination. Investigations are ongoing.”
