Kildare Man Charged With Criminal Damage By Arson Following Fatal House Fire

Twenty-two-year-old Michael Dunne appeared before Judge Andrew Coady at Tullamore District Court this evening.

A twenty-two-year-old man has been charged with criminal damage by arson as part of the investigation into an alleged firebomb attack in County Offaly last year.

Michael Dunne with an address in Kildare appeared before Judge Andrew Coady at Tullamore District Court this evening.

He's also faced a second charge of endangerment.

This is the first person to be charged in relation to the investigation.

Four others arrested as part of the investigation and remain in garda custody.
