Petrol bomb attack on Sinn Féin office condemned as 'mindless'

Sinn Féin TD for Dublin South Central Aengus Ó Snodaigh has condemned as “cowardly” an attack on his constituency office yesterday afternoon.

Shortly after 3pm a petrol bomb was thrown into the hallway of the shared premises on Ballyfermot Road, Dublin 10, causing some smoke damage.

“This mindless attack could have endangered the lives of people working in that building, not just my own staff but also those who work for two businesses who share the building with my office.” Mr Ó Snodaigh said.

The incident was reported to gardaí, who are investigating.

Labour Party chairman Colm Keaveney said the attack went beyond “being an attack on one TD or even one party and represents an attack on the democratic nature of the State”.
