Fox News
Irish prime minister said there is "no justification for violence, arson or vandalism" after a fire destroyed a hotel where 70 migrants were to be housed.
The statement came in response to a fire that erupted Saturday night at the Ross Lake House Hotel in Rosscahill, County Galway, in the west of Ireland, destroying the building. The hotel was meant to start housing about 70 male asylum seekers as of this week. Police say no one was inside the building when the fire started, and no injuries have been reported.
