An innocent family of six, including a one‑year‑old baby, were left injured and homeless after being caught up in a suspected arson attack in their Dublin apartment block in the early hours of Sunday.

Jordan Wade, his partner Katie Chalk, and their children Mary Kate (1), Jordan (2), Lila (3), and Pamela (7) were asleep in their one‑bed flat in Mary Aikenhead House, Dublin 8, when their front door suddenly went up in flames at around 2am, leaving them with no escape except through the fire.
