“The smoke is incredibly dense and billowing low from Richmond Road right over to Croke Park, we’re staying inside with the windows shut because it’s really overpowering,” they said.

No doubt started by one of the local scrotes.
@Eric: Really? Well then there’s no need for forensic fire iinvestigators any more is there? You must be a real asset to the DFB with you psychic powers of deduction!
@liam whelan: not much deduction required when you live nearby and you see the mobs of skangers starting fires and attacking fire engines.
I hope theres no homeless person(s) after taking shelter in the building. Also that all the emergency crews are safe.
Hmmm.. a protected/listed building goes up in flames, suspiciously.
Wouldn’t be a bit surprised if it “has to be knocked” and lo and behold shiny a new apartment block will miraculously take its place.
Feel sorry for anyone local with breathing difficulties.
I wonder?????????
Formerly the home of Jerry Beades concrete of the land league…..i wonder…..
@TonyF: we don’t have listed buildings in Ireland – that’s a UK phenomenon
@TonyF: Technically, there is no such thing as a listed building in Ireland.
