Gardaí investigate arson at Limerick building for student accommodation, amid rumors about asylum seekers.

Gardaí are investigating a suspected arson attack on a Limerick building earmarked for student accommodation, amid "disinformation and rumour" about its use as a potential accommodation centre for asylum seekers. Firefighters responded to the blaze at the former Railway Hotel on Parnell Street, a historic building dating back to 1871. Gardaí are operating on the theory that the fire was "possibly started maliciously".
