    According to the Facebook page of the Gorey Labour District:

    "Well done to the Mayor of Gorey Cllr Robert Ireton who has been hailed as a hero when he and a mystery accomplice helped to foil a robbery at the Gorey Pharmacy. Stunned locals looked on as the town mayor chased the robber down the street with an axe. Mayor Ireton advises any other would be criminals, Dont mess with my town."

    Fair play to him I say - he wasn't lacking in the undercarriage department when he confronted the criminals!

    It was probably a setup to make himself look good... :)

    The mayor foils a robbery with his mystery accomplice?

    Sounds like an episode of Scooby Doo.

    And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you pesky mayors! :mad:

    I wonder does he patrol the town full time with his axe :)

    It wasn't the bank that was robbed as the thread title spectacurally claims, it was the Gorey Pharmacy
    And an axe is different to a hatchet.
