Mayo TD's office targetted

A PETROL bomb was thrown at a TD's office in Co Mayo last night.

The office of Fine Gael TD Michelle Mulherin on John Street in Ballina was damaged in the attack. The front window of the office was broken and a small fire broke out at about 7pm. Gardaí said "minimal damage" was caused to the office. Officers are investigating the attack. The constituency office was officially opened in 2011. In 2012, Sinn Féin TD Aengus Ó Snodaigh's office in Ballyfermot in Dublin was damaged in a petrol bomb attack.
