Fatal petrol bombing in Waterford

The BBC is reporting that "An arson attack in Waterford which resulted in the death of four family members, including two children, showed "utter contempt" for human life, the Dáil (Irish parliament) has heard. Kim English, Philip English and their children, 12-year-old Callum and nine-year-old Jayden, died in the house fire on Birch Avenue, on the outskirts of Waterford in the Republic of Ireland on Tuesday. Irish broadcaster RTÉ has reported that detectives believe the attack is linked to organised crime and drugs-related intimidation."

The Irish Mirror is reporting that "A man and a woman have appeared in court on charges related to an arson attack which claimed four lives in Waterford City. Cian Stacey, 21, and Jessica Dalton, 31, appeared at a special sitting of Clonmel District Court charged with one count of criminal damage and two counts of assault causing serious harm. Philip and Kim English and their sons Callum, 12, and Jayden, nine, died in the attack on their home on Tuesday."

This isn't Belfast. This is very unusual for Waterford. Cork Beo is reporting that "A suspected petrol bomb was thrown at a home in Kerry early this morning. It's understood a family, including three children, escaped unhurt from the burning home." Very strange. These aren't immigrants. Drug intimidation?

RTE is reporting that "Drug-related intimidation is taking place in every county in Ireland, with over 1,000 incidents reported in a two-year period. A conference taking place in Portlaoise has heard how the incidents are becoming more violent, and gardaí are treating them extremely seriously".

So I guess this Daniel Kinahan arrest was a circus side show. 

MI5 are behind Ireland's booming drug trade. Mark my word.
