The article body is unrendered template code with no reporting. The only facts come from the headline, which names a teen arrest and a firebombing at a Tallaght property. The article is dated 2024-05-25, before the 29 May Ardmore Drive petrol bomb in existing case 17092, so it is not matched to that case.
