Just woken up by ALOT of sirens and the crack of several automatic and semi auto weapons,
big long gunfight it sounds like,
and no its not road works, was in the fca (sad I know) for years and its sure as my **** gunfire,
checked the news site and nothing,
anyone's house full of holes?
hope they are just shorting themselves,
hope the gardai are ok,

That's weird I didn't hear anything

I guess the sound of a gun short isn't loud enough to get to Cork

Along the quays near hueston, all over now,
I work in an a+e and every time someone comes in with a gunshot wound they are clinical retarded, I swear there's not a smart one amongst them,
they could all be outsmarted by an early 80's smartphone,

Hopefully no-one innocent was hurt. I wonder if this indicent has to do with the Gardai doing checks prior to the Queen and President Obama's visits?

These checks at the early hours of a sunday morning would explain the gunshots?

Im sure they just wanted a lie in at the weekend.
I wouldn't be too happy if someone woke me at 4 in the morning checking my house checking for guns and explosives.
To be fair if the found the house that had guns and explosives, sh1t will happen at 4am
