Mr. Mark Malone:

They are not. To be clear, we are not here to accuse anyone of any particular arson attack. It is also quite clear from what has been said already by the Garda that there has been a wide range of the types of arson. Some cases have seen what looks like quite professional fire-setting and in other cases, people have been throwing in coal and turf. There is something to what has been said about this not being a uniform and co-ordinated pattern but there is a direct relationship between the whipping up of fear and the identification of specific locations and those places going on fire.
