Ah here, have another #painting. "Ormond Quay" was done 3 years ago. I based it on a lifetime of loving Dublin City's quays. I like buildings, squares, rectangles, right angles, that sort of thing, and my head is full of them all the time. Sometimes they come out like this. #ArtYear #SpeirGhorm

OK, we're going to need to know how the "fireworks" line made it out into the media, when it very much appears that this is a clear-cut case of arson.
So it wasn't fireworks. It was a calculated and deliberate attempt at the mass murder of men, women and children.

Right wing dickheads want you afraid of foreign criminals coming in, putting "our women and children" at risk, meanwhile this is what they're doing to women and children
Firefighters rescued five people, including three children under ten, from the top floor of an Ipas centre in Drogheda last night after a major fire.
Gardaí have preserved the scene while the cause of the blaze is investigated.
