THIS is the shocking moment a playground was burned to the ground in the capital.
Footage has emerged of the horror blaze in Weaver Park, Dublin 8 in recent days.


One mum Ranae, who goes by @ranaevonmeding on TikTok, shared footage to the social media platform.
She said: “What is actually wrong with people?
“This is Weaver Park in Dublin 8 and someone has just set it on fire.”
People are furious about the fire and many took to the comments to talk about it.
One person expressed their disappointment: “Aw no. My little boys love it there. What’s wrong with people?”
Another commented: “My son plays in that playground and loves it, now it gone.”
And a third added: “That’s genuinely so depressing.”
Meanwhile, Dublin Fire Brigade have urged people to report any “suspicious activity” to the gardai.
They wrote on Sunday: “Unfortunately, firefighters were called to a playground fire off Cork Street earlier this evening.
“One fire engine from Dolphins Barn fire station responded and quickly extinguished the fire.”
They added: “We’re asking members of the public to report any suspicious behaviour to Gardai.”
Gardai are investigating the fire.
