GARDAÍ ARE INVESTIGATING a fire which destroyed a Dublin City Council building and some expensive equipment inside it last night.
Dublin Fire Brigade were called to the scene at Stannaway Park in Crumlin at 8pm. They spent two hours putting out the substantial fire only to be called back again at 3.30am when the building was on fire again.
A spokesperson for Dublin City Council confirmed that its works depot building in Stannaway Park was “destroyed by fire”.
“This building housed facilities for staff and storage areas for vehicles and work equipment,” they said. “A pick-up van, tractor and three ride-on mowers were damaged in the fire but at this stage it is difficult to estimate the cost.”
It is understood that a large diesel tank was also inside the building at the time and that the damages run into tens of thousands of euro.
Gardaí are now investigating the circumstances of the incident.

Does the same apply to model planes?
yes
Of course it applies to model planes….clubs have a lot of land ( courses ) to practice flying and toying with the planes….not to mention you need space to take of and land… NOT with drones… They take off and land on a 1c coin … And have super HD cameras.. I can see why it’s an issue…
Ps I own a very nice drone and can still see there point…..
I got done for throwing a paper airplane in class once, down with that sort of thing.
Can a homeowner shoot down a drone over their property? I could see criminals using drones on recon missions over houses.
What would the criminals be doing exactly? Taking photos of your roof tiles to see if they’re a sellable type?
Checking the property out before they rob you.
Would have been cheaper to buy a season ticket.
Lets hope ISIS don’t start using this mini drones as weapons – suicide drones!!!
That’s why the authorities want to ban them or at least strict their usage, over high profile buildings and congested places
that applies to all terrorists not just ISIS
have your say
