Quirky Dublin truck with great coffee shares update after cruel thugs torch trailer in horrible blaze

The owners of a quirky Dublin coffee truck have shared a positive update after their trailer was torched by a gang of cruel thugs last week.

The vandals set the Fools and Horses Coffee trailer alight at the end of October which almost completely put the coffee spot out of business for good.

An iconic Walkinstown spot, the owners serve their hot drinks from a converted horse box near the notorious roundabout in the area.

The owners had just cleaned the trailer on St James' Road in Greenhills when it was targeted by the heartless vandals.

The company were left with a repair bill and no source of income for one week but thankfully, they are back up and running.

They shared their good news on social media and thanked locals for their massive support during the traumatic time.

The post reads: "We are so happy to say that we're back OPEN at the Walkinstown roundabout.

"We have been so overwhelmed this past week with all of the messages, support and people reaching out.

"We are so grateful and we can never thank you enough. The community spirit in Walkinstown really is something else and we are so happy to be back making all of you gorgeous people some hot steamy coffees.

They finished: "None of this would be possible without all of you. Can't wait to see some familiar faces tomorrow."

A full garda investigation is still ongoing into the arson attack with no arrests made yet.
