Arson attack on house in West Dublin leaves two children and two adults hospitalised

A number of lines of inquiry are being pursued following an arson attack on a house in West Dublin that left two young children and two adults hospitalised. Gardai say they received a report of suspected criminal damage by fire that occurred at around 5am on Monday at a residence on Aylmer Drive, Newcastle. Four people, including two young children, had to be rescued by emergency services from the property and were taken to hospital with non-life threatening injuries.

Three were rescued by firefighters using a ladder to gain access to an upstairs window. Gardai believe an accelerant was used in the fire at the property and a criminal investigation is now underway. The front window of the house was smashed and a firebomb thrown into the property. A car parked in the driveway was also damaged. Later, Dublin Fire Brigade posted an image of the aftermath on its social media channels showing significant damage to the front of the house and wrote: “Overnight firefighters from Tallaght and Dolphins Barn fire stations were called to a house fire in Newcastle,” the fire service said. “Three people were rescued by firefighters using a ladder and the fire was extinguished by fire crews in breathing apparatus,” it added. A Garda spokesperson said they received a report of a suspected criminal damage by fire incident that occurred at around 5am at a residence on Aylmer Drive
