• Man sentenced for arson at Dundalk home Arson (criminal damage by fire) · Co. Louth

  A 42-year-old man, Stephen McVeigh, was sentenced at Dundalk Circuit Court in March 2024 for setting fire to pallets at the front door of a family's home in Aghameen Park, Hoey's Lane, Dundalk, County Louth, in the early hours of 23 January 2023. The victim, a woman, was told to leave the house around 2am and her two adult sons threw water over the flames; no injuries were reported but significant damage was caused to the front of the property. Mobile phone footage showed McVeigh being directed by a woman, and CCTV from a nearby Applegreen showed a woman buying a jerry can and petrol. The judge, noting the attack appeared to have been directed from elsewhere, imposed four years and three months with the final 18 months suspended, and McVeigh is under Probation Service supervision for 12 months after release.
