The teenage suspect who broke into Leinster House allegedly trespassed in the same building just a fortnight ago – and also targeted the HQ of Ireland’s diplomatic corps, it has been claimed.
The 16-year-old is now suspected of having carried out three break-ins in a month-long spree – but was not spotted in two of them. A source said: “This is much more serious than people think. Saturday was not a one off, he did two other break-ins. This is a massive breach of security. If a teenager can do it, who else can? It doesn’t bear thinking about.”
As well as Saturday’s break in, it’s claimed he also trespassed in Leinster House around a week earlier – and the nearby Iveagh House, home to the Department of Foreign Affairs. That incident is believed to have taken place on May 20, two weeks before Saturday’s break-in, sources claim.
