A Romanian migrant has been arrested after attempting to set fire to the crypt at St Michan's Church of Ireland on Church Street in Dublin. The fire caused significant damage, with five mummified remains, hundreds of years old, believed to have been destroyed by the water used to extinguish the flames. Among the destroyed remains was an 800-year-old crusader and other Christian heroes. This incident is not the first time the Dublin site has been vandalized.
