🕯️ Bombing

A man and a woman have been arrested in connection with the fatal petrol bombing in Waterford that claimed four lives. This development follows previous reports linking the deaths to a significant drug debt and the escalation of the case to a murder investigation. In other news, public sector union leaders have announced that a nationwide strike will proceed next week, signaling further industrial action after previous efforts to avert a strike failed. Meanwhile, it has emerged that Gardaí were informed of Orla Poole's name 28 years ago during their investigation into former swim coach George Gibney. Separately, hundreds of bags of horse manure have been dumped in Dublin, with the local council refusing to collect them, creating a peculiar local issue. High-priced rental accommodation for the upcoming Ryder Cup in Adare has also been advertised, with properties reaching up to €99,000 for a castle and €19,000 for a house in Tyrone.
