Gardai Conduct Forensic Examination At The Scene Of Belgooly House Fire

The incident is being treated as a suspected arson attack

 

No-one was injured in the incident in the Meadows Housing Estate which is being treated as a suspected arson attack 

Locals report seeing a man in a balaclava fleeing the scene as the fire broke out and neighbouring residents had to be evacuated   

The house, where one woman had been living alone for a number of years, was very badly damaged and Gardai maintained a presence in the estate overnight and this morning as they completed their investigations 

Speaking to RedFM News, Pat O'Regan from Kinsale Coffee who lives in the Meadows says locals rallied around last night
