Gardaí Confirm Probe Into Suspected Arson Attack on Islamic Prayer Hall
Gardaí are probing the blaze as criminal damage by fire after more than 20 firefighters and paramedics were sent to the scene.
- On Monday, June 29, 2026, Gardaí launched an investigation into a suspected arson attack at the Dawat-e-Islami Ireland premises on Talbot Street, Dublin, with no injuries reported.
- Dublin Fire Brigade dispatched four engines and 20 firefighters to the scene, forcing the closure of Talbot Street between Gardiner Street and Marlborough Street and suspending Luas Green Line services.
- A security man working beside the premises told Dublin Live he witnessed the fire being started, stating, "The fire started going everywhere," before evacuating bystanders from the building.
- The Irish Muslim Council chairman, Shaykh Umar Al-Qadri, condemned the "shocking" attack as a "deeply disturbing assault on a place of worship," claiming weeks of prior intimidation preceded it.
- Al-Qadri warned that "when hatred is normalised and incitement is left unchecked, the consequences can be grave," as The Irish Muslim Council called for a thorough investigation to bring those responsible to justice.
