    Because of the answer to first question

    when i was working in a shopping centre there were a few bomb scares. A bloke in a luminous jacket would come in and hand you a yellow card. It said something along the lines of "search your premises. If you find anything suspicious contact security on 01xxxxx". Apparently if the card was red you should search extra hard because the threat was likely true but i never saw one of those

    I forsee a large increase in the number of bomb threats to schools after this thread.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    guys I was there it was nothing it was just a quick announcement on the intercom for us to evacuate to the courts with our bags and stuff and then we stood around freezing our asses off for a while there gardaí were there in flack jackets and we were finaly told to go home and stay away from the building and to not hang around outside the gates none of the teachers told us it was a bomb but we knew it was and we all went home there was no panic at all and nobody was scared at all as far as know

    just normal stab vests, or was there anything particular about their clothing?

    unless they where planning on using your school as a staging ground from which to launch an airbourne raid on normandy, I doubt they were flak jackets :P

    yeah well then it was a stab vest i didnt get a proper look but he deffinately wasnt kitted out with bomb desposal gear and obviously he wouldnt since the army does that but when i was there, i saw only one squad car and like 3 or 4 gardaí oh and just to let everyone know YES IT WAS A HOAX AND THE SCHOOL WILL MOST LIKELY BE OPEN TOMORROW
    how do i know this? u might ask well my dad went up there to see if his night classes were going to be on and the place was fine and the janitor was inside and told my dad the night classes were going to be on and that the whole thing was a hoax

    Yeah, not alone was her cellphone 'trapped' in her locker, but her coat also. Ten mins after she got home the heavens opened.

    yeah, i was there too, and they were stab vests, and only one garda car, and the principal seemed pretty freaked out. all in all, it was quite funny.....

    oh and it was during the second last class, so i dont think it was a student wanting a half day particularly, just messin.

    Meh.
    Tried it in Confey College back in 1990.
    We even put a bit of platicine with some wires and an alarm clock on top of one of the prefabs, but they didn't even evacuate the place.

    I didn't go in that day anyway.

    Only a few people knew about it.
    Like I said, they didn't even evacuate the place.
    A couple of cops got onto the prefab, looked at the improvised device and laughed. Well, I'm just guessing that they laughed. I probably would have.

    This is what comes of watching to many 80's shows like McGyver and The A-Team, people end up believing all you need to create a bomb is half a pound of semtex, an alarm clock and 2 wires (a red and a blue of course) :D

    We dont have "chavs" in Leixlip, or anywhere in Ireland for that matter. I believe they like to be called knackers or skangers. But definitely not chavs, jeesh.

    I think I remember that.. around what year was it?
