A fire broke out early on February 4 at a vacant nursing home intended for conversion into asylum seeker accommodation in Crooksling, Ireland, the Dublin Fire Brigade said. Firefighters were called to the scene at 7 am and reported the fire being contained after noon. The Gardai launched an investigation for suspected arson attack, as reported by The Irish Times, citing the Department of Integration. Protests took place the previous week at the former nursing home after speculations of its intended use as accommodations for asylum seekers, RTE reported. The Crooksling fire comes in the wake of a fire that destroyed a hotel in Galway that was planned to house migrants, and another fire broke out at a pub intended as “emergency accommodation” in Dublin.
