GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING a petrol bomb attack on a house in Corduff, west Dublin.
The incident happened this afternoon at a house in Sheephill Avenue, Corduff, Blanchardstown.
Gardaí said that nobody was injured in the attack and that the house was unoccupied at the time.
However, security sources believe that this incident is linked to an ongoing feud between gangs based in Corduff and Finglas.
A house in the same estate was shot at 10 days ago and gardaí are now investigating if both these incidents are linked.
A garda spokeswoman said: “Gardaí are investigating an incident of criminal damage by fire to a house in Sheephill Avenue, Corduff, Blanchardstown. The incident occurred on Saturday 27th April 2019 at approximately 2.30pm. The house was unoccupied at the time of the incident and no injuries were reported. Investigations are ongoing.”

Is there a competition between drogheda and corduff/blanch on at the min of who can throw most petrol bombs and the most shootings?
@Yorkie1892: and don’t forget the new ira
@Tom Nolan: and their political wing
@FlopFlipU: I don’t mean to keep digging this up
When the councils start to do their well paid jobs and evict troublemakers, this type of problem would quickly disappear. The garda can only do so much, the judges and the management need to do theirs.
@Thomas Roche: They can’t do a thing as some of the ringleaders own their homes.
@Belebop: cab send them an estimate ?
@Thomas Roche: Only if they’re under CAB investigation, which they are. However they can only seize the properties of they were bought using the proceeds of crime.
@Belebop: or to pay the tax bill.
@Thomas Roche: would only move the problem on to another area I’d say .
For a good look at the real spirit of Corduff see Cleanup Corduff Facebook page where you will see real community spirit and civic engagement by the real people of Corduff.
The behaviour of drug gangs, drug dealers and recreational drug users are all linked and only serve to undermine the substantial effort being made by the army of volunteers who work hard to keep Corduff clean and safe for themselves, their children and their neighbours.
Remember it always harms someone THINK BEFORE YOU BUY
@Think Before You Buy: thank you for such an open minded response, it was my mother’s house that was petrol bombed and although we share the same family name we are not involved in what’s going on in Corduff, yet my mother’s house was targeted, she has been actively involved in the area including the clean up Corduff page her house has been a safe home for kids for over 30 years and these animals think it’s OK to do this. She’s moving out because of fear of another attack, what a lovely way to end 32 years in what was at one time a great place to live. I hope karma comes around and bites them on the arse because waiting for the judicial system to work the whole area would be burned down.
They should bring in a law making gang crime illegal.. oh yeah they did.. a decade ago.

What’s gone wrong?
@Tom: Something, something, racist something….
It’s the Political gangs that are doing nothing at all to stop the other gangs. So there.
