A wooden structure which stood along a popular cycling route has been lit on fire, with gardai launching a probe into the shocking incident and appealing for witnesses.
The greenway stretches from Waterford City centre all the way through to Dungarvan in the west of the county and has a number of interesting stops along the way, with the Comeragh Mountains acting as an incredible background to the route.
It's cycled by thousands of people each year - but one person has decided to ruin a part of it.
