Strange goings on near Dublin Castle.

Mr.Crinklewood

A search is under way near Dublin Castle after a number of men opened a manhole at the gates of Dublin Castle.
An alert began at 9.30pm last night when a ladder was put into the manhole and two men climbed down.
The area has been sealed off and the Garda Underwater Unit are due to join the search.

Friday night.... 9.30pm.... Dublin.

It's just a bunch of lads having a bit of craig after a few jars, sure whats the worst taht could happen?

Ghandee

And i would've gotten away with it too if it wasn't for those dam meddling kids.

shnakes and ladders

Must be demons down there.

WTF? Someone should have replaced the manhole cover and parked a car over it!

None of this matters because there is a Tyrannosaurus Rex fighting an elephant on Film4 right now

That's the new "Trim Live" stream.

I doubt it was a bunch of drunk lads messing about. Random drunks don't tend to bring ladders around with them.

My guess would be they were trying to explore the tunnels that the River Poddle runs through, which lie under Dublin Castle.

They're briefly mentioned in this wikipedia article:

The T Rex has just been killed in a fire in a church. An elderly woman blessed herself. A child is crying. I'm not sure about the symbolism of the whole thing, but I think it means Jesus killed the lizard people and as such Holy God and his crew are the champions.

Was on Creedon's Cities only a few weeks back. He mentioned it runs under Dame St. Maybe they think it goes under a bank or something...

Last time there was an incident involving the tunnels around there it was an attempt to dig into a bank vault on Dame St. whilst most people were off celebrating Christmas. I wouldn't be surprised if some people were planning similar over this bank holiday weekend.

+1 on this, they will search and find nothing because in the mean time someone will be climbing into a different pot hole close to the banks and getting ready to clear out a safe and no one will know till Tuesday.

Have a look at the manhole cover at 3.58 in that documentary. It appears to be the same one that's in the photo on RTE's website http://img.rasset.ie/00063a5f-314.jpg

Maybe a couple of lads saw this documentary and fancied recreating the experience for themselves?

Meant to be motion / light sensors at the covers that are anywhere near banks days.

On the lines of "Hole found - Gardai looking into it" perhaps ?

Journalist terrified in Dublin hole shocker
by Niamh Horan.

The metal disc came up without warning and there it was in front of me - a gieant hole in the middle of the busy street. Weekend revellers backed away cautiously and for a few seconds I thought it was going to grow and swallow the entire city. I ran breathelssly for cover. Terrifying mages of giant skyscrapers disappearing a la 9-11 into a sudden void danced in my subconscious...

Two men enter dark hole.

CHUD!

Only in Japan will you find men eating eels out of a filthy hole.

It does sound like the premise for either a Japanses porn or a Japanese monster horror movie. Could go either way...

some random drunk

I'd like to say I've never seen a japanese girl with an eel rectally inserted. I'd like to...

Back on topic, it seems the guards are still searching for the two men:

They're far too late. The banks have already been robbed .... from the inside.
Unless it was Seanie and Fingers trying to put the money back.

It's gold they be after!

I meant I'd like to be able to say I've never seen that before. Sadly I have .

Anyways......

The guards have concluded their tunnel search, without finding anyone.

Link please actually interested in this now :P

I don't think Tunnels can cover somwhere, by definition they need to be under stuff, otherwise there'd be nothing to err, tunnel through.
