Fire services on site at Dungarvan Crystal Sports Club | WLRFM.com

Dungarvan Fire Service have been tasked to the site of the former Dungarvan Crystal Sports Club this evening – following reports of the building being on fire at approximately 7pm.

The blaze is under control, and it is understood the incident is being treated as an act of anti-social behaviour.

The building, which is located adjacent to the Kilrush Park grounds of Dungarvan United AFC has lain derelict for a number of years.

Waterford City & County Council were in negotiations to purchase the site with the current owners as recently as March – and it is believed the matter is currently being discussed by legal teams.

WLR News has contacted Waterford City & County Council for comment.
