Three teens arrested in investigation into fire at Kildare stud farm
Gardaí have arrested three individuals as part of an ongoing investigation into a fire at Rathasker Stud in Naas on Friday, 7th February, 2025.
Three male juveniles in their mid-teens were arrested during an operation on Wednesday morning and were detained at a Garda Station in Co Kildare. Gardaí said all three have since been released without charge and referred to the Garda Youth Diversion Programme.
The fire is believed to have occurred at approximately 5.25pm in a hay shed on the grounds. It was extinguished by the fire brigade and no injuries were reported.
Speaking to Kfm, Maurice Burns said he was "lucky" he did not lose 20 pregnant broodmares. He said it took 10 hours for fire services to put out the fire.
