“I’m aware of a number of arson attacks and in at least one case near Naas it was a case of mistaken identity and there have been many cases where dwellings were targeted by mistake,” said Cllr Clear.
He also said that incidents have taken place in west Kildare, including Allenwood.
“This is becoming quite prevalent and I want to find out if the houses involved are council-owned,” he added.
Many houses in KCC-built estates in the county have been bought out by tenants and are no longer owned by the council.
However KCC said there have been no arson attacks on local authority houses in the Naas area in recent years.
