Homeless charity threatened to be 'burned' for giving tents to asylum seekers

A Dublin-based homeless charity has received messages on social media threatening to burn one of their buildings down because they are providing homeless asylum seekers with tents.

One person on X wrote that someone should put a Molotov cocktail through the door of the café, while another said:"Stop donating to traitor charities"."They were pictures of the Light House, videos of the people outside the Light House looking for help and then instructions on how to make a Molotov cocktail and perhaps the Light House should be burned down this evening," he said.

"They're at the front of the building and if you've a threat of a Molotov cocktail coming in the window you can't risk people getting hurt".Mr McCarthy said they have been advised to provide tents by the Government.
