3 people are being quizzed in connection with a suspected arson attack at Scarriff Garda Station overnight.
The private car of a female officer was set alight after an incendiary was thrown into the vehicle, while the two front windows of the garda station itself were also smashed in.
The incident happened at around 12.30 while the garda was on patrol in the squad car – She subsequently raised the alarm.
3 men in their 20's and 30's were arrested in the Scarriff area shortly before lunchtime and are being held on suspicion of criminal damage at Killaloe, Ennis and Shannon garda stations.

What idiots would attack a Garda station?

If these people are found to have committed this act then the book needs to be thrown at them. Extra penalties need to be attached to those who attack the people that uphold the law of the land.

Personally the scary thing to think about would be if they were willing to go after a Garda station like that, then what would they be like if they turned on some regular Joe Publics.

I heard on Clare.fm today that the two Clare men arrested were from Mountshannon, though I haven't seen any articles to confirm it...

What would they have done if she was in the station at the time? Genuinely worried, I know it is only speculation, but if they are focused enough to do this sort of damage, what limits would they have if they met an unarmed Garda?
