Arson at a Hotel, Roosky, Co. Leitrim on the 10/1/19

The Gardaí at Carrick-on-Shannon are investigating an Arson that occurred at the Shannon Key West Hotel on the 10th January 2019. The fire at the hotel was deliberate and started sometime between 7pm and 7.40pm on the 10th Jan 2019. The emergency services were contacted shortly after 7.40pm by a security Guard who was on duty in the hotel at the time of the fire.

Gardaí believe that the Hotel was forcibly entered by damaging a widow on the down floor area on the Dromod side of the Hotel. The Hotel is located just West of the Village of Roosky Co. Leitrim and it is situated on the old N4 Road which runs between Roosky Village and Dromod Village. We also know that on the day of the fire there were a number of work men operating in the Hotel. The last workman left the hotel at approx. 6pm on the evening of the 10th.

Appeal: 

• Any witnesses who travelled this area along the Old N4 between Roosky village and Dromod on the evening of the 10th Jan 2019 between 7pm and 7.45pm.
• Anyone who travelled the road which runs from the N4 just past the Hotel on the Dromod side to Bornacoola and further onto Fox’s of Tooman. This road is known locally as the Bog road again between the hours of 7pm and 7.45pm
• Any witnesses who in the days leading up to the fire may have noticed anything unusual or suspicious in the general area of the Hotel or Roosky village itself.
