just arrive home in a taxi and eden quay was blocked by gardai from top to end .... looks like something serious, but couldn't see a crashed car etc .... no pedestrians seemed to be allowed by either, can anyone elaborate ? cant find anything online

mods, already posted in the regional forum, but judging by the last post date it'd be well-online before i get a response.

antodeco · 20-01-2008 2:05am

.Maybe they were doing breath tests and were wondering why they werent catching anyone with the road closed..

Looking at the traffic cameras the O'Connell bridge hasn't updated in over an hour unlike all the others!

I was in the laughter lounge, and it was evacuated at about 11.40 because of a bomb scare (My jacket is still there). There were loads of gards around, and were evacuating people off the street. Thy did seem fairly serious though, I went to redz after, and 1 the gards wer still there, but I didnt see any bomb squard. Noone was really told any more, just to leave.

Funkstard · 20-01-2008 2:19am

Drove by it earlier too and wondered what was going on. Gardaí directing traffic on O'Connell Bridge, seemed a pretty serious operation. When I drove by it again later on (about an hour ago), there were more Gardaí and a bigger operation was going on.

Thought it was a crash or something but didn't see any amublances? Only saw flashing lights from squad cars at either end of the blockade. Lots and lots of onlookers too. Also saw Gardaí interviewing people outside Q bar, but that could have easily been for something unrelated.

That's all spin, a UFO landed.

I for one, welcome our new Lizard overlords.

According to the barman in Cassidy's as we were leaving it was a suspect device/car bomb outside the Clifton Court Hotel.

Nitelink driver was talking about Army personnel on-scene as well, whcih suggests Bomb Disposal Squad. I guess we'll hear about it in the news in the morning

flogen · 20-01-2008 2:24am

From what I've heard the Gardaí got information that the 'Garden of Eden' bar was in fact a front for a seedy strip club.

I know, I'm as shocked as you. It seemed so classy.

kirving · 20-01-2008 2:29am

There were a good few gards floating about, I didn't see anyone specifically being interviewed.

They won't. The co2 emissions from the ufo are too high. They cant afford anywhere to live. They cant get a bed in hospital, and they cant smoke anywhere. What sort of planet is this?
In fairness, I think Bertie is a ghekko...

I hope someone succesfully manages to blow up the clifton court. What a kip.

Did you know that Troy Aikman, in only six years, has passed for 16,303 yards?

orestes · 20-01-2008 3:57am

Apparently there was a bomb scare at the Laughter Lounge so they had to evacuate, hence the police blocking off the area

Did anyone jump in to save them?.

I wouldn't, stupid guards for jumping into the Liffey.

Seth Brundle · 20-01-2008 9:43am

No gardai jumped into the liffey.

I left me alarm clock in the lobby by accident and the gardai blew it up

am I entitled to compensation?

the dee · 20-01-2008 12:59pm

Apparently this was 'an elaborate hoax' according to fm104 news.

Bottle_of_Smoke · 20-01-2008 1:20pm

There must be several guys who'd just paid for a lapdance in garden of eden. My heart goes out to them.

dsmythy · 20-01-2008 4:33pm

There's been a number of hoaxes across the north quays over the years. What's peoples problem with it!

For this one maybe somebody was making an extortion bid on the hotel group. Who knows.

I love the way the Dean st/Patrick St camera looks right down onto the balcony of the apartment on the top floor of nash's pub.
