GARDAI are investigating what is believed to have been an arson attack on a medical Centre overnight in #Limerick.
The circumstances and source of a commercial fire at a Limerick medical Centre is now the focus of investigators who are trying to ascertain if the blaze was started deliberately with a petrol bomb during the early hours of this Monday morning.
The alarm was raised when a blaze took hold of the Walk in Medical Centre in Dooradoyle. The Centre is near the Hi-way bar and restaurant.
Three units from the Limerick City Fire and Rescue Service were alerted at 4:45am to the blaze.
Crews took around an hour to extinguish the blaze which was confined to one downstairs room.
- External Walls: Up to €8,000 Grant
- Attic: Up to €1,500 Grant
- Cavity Walls: Up to €1,700 Grant
- Internal Dry Lining: Up to €4,500 Grant
The medical centre premises and the rest of the building was unoccupied at the time.
Gardai are now investigating the circumstances and are treating it as a suspicious fire as it is believed that a petrol bomb may have been used to ignite the blaze.
It is understood also that Gardai have been called to the area on a number of occasions recently in response to disturbances.
