FOUR OF THE five people who were injured in an arson attack on a home in Finglas, Dublin on Wednesday have been discharged from hospital. 

gardaí are continuing to investigate the attack on a house in Creston Avenue. 

It’s believed the attack was a case of mistaken identity, as it emerged that the attackers targeted the wrong property. 

Some of the occupants of the house were forced to flee through a second-storey window in order to escape the blaze. 

Five people were hospitalised following the fire, including a woman in her 40s, a woman in her 20s, two male teenagers and one female teenager.

The woman in her 4os remains in hospital with serious injuries. A garda spokesperson today said that her condition is stable at this time. 

The property sustained significant damage in the attack, with burn marks visible on the front of the site.

Gardaí are appealing for witnesses to the arson attack, which took place between midnight and 1 am on 31 December, to come forward.
