Galwaynews.ie:

"Gardaí say they are treating a fire at a city butchers this weekend as 'suspicious'.

The fire broke out at McGraths Butchers in Mervue just before 11pm on Saturday.

Galway Fire Brigade attended the scene and brought the fire under control a short time later.

The premises was extensively damaged, and the scene has been preserved for forensic examination."



I throw the floor open to wild accusations!

There was a post a few weeks back about a fire in a butchers in Mervue. I'm guessing there's not more than one there.

This is discrimination against fires, fires can't go anywhere without being accused of destroying buildings and threatening people. It's got to stop.

Is this a second fire in McGrath's?

If so and it's arson, someone wanted to finish a job.

The meat industry has gotten cut throat obviously! First one was the same place alright. It hadn't even re-opened since the first fire...

Right, so it turns out that the butchers in Mervue that was burnt a few weeks ago reopened on Friday. last night (no source only word of mouth from Mervue locals) is that holes were drilled in the roof and petrol poured in. Place is gutted.

The few locals I spoke to are so upset for the the man who owns it..apparently they are lovely in there and give excellent service and do stuff for the old folks like drop their groceries to their doors etc..

It disgusts me that this was a malicious and planned attack, and so close to christmas when he had take turkey orders etc. There really are evil people out there

Has anyone gone down to see if there's any salvageable meat?

Ha Ha I use to live in Mervue. There is alot of word of mouth! if that's the case I'd imagine they will suspect the neighbours upstairs! I'd imagine the butcher must have pi**ed someone off you'd imagine

It's just horrible to think people can be as malicious to do this to the fella twice in under a few weeks...there must be more we don't know about (awaits the mervue information hotline)

Leaving this to the Gardaí
