    well done to the aru

    Already over? It went on for a few hours so how can you say already as if its no big deal?


  • Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 12,563 Mod ✭✭✭✭Amirani


    well done to the aru

    Hard to say that given the scant news we have. For all we know they could've went in all guns blazing and there's 10 dead hostages and 1 arrested hostage-taker...

    I know Northern Sound were told not to publish anything to social media. Sad situation. Rip


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 533 ✭✭✭SheldonC17


    I seen on the Northern Sounf fb page about the media blackout


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 54,868 ✭✭✭✭tayto lover


    It's still going on according to my friend who lives nearby.
    He said there was false information put out that it was ended.
    A lot of confusion as the area is sealed off.

    Are the reports about the bomb squad being there true, Tayto?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,597 ✭✭✭Witchie


    I reckon the Anglo Celt will be getting a call from the gardai about pic they posted if blackout still in place.

    Why? Three uniformed gardai standing beside a patrol car looking bored?

    There was an article on their site about the incident but it's been taken down

    Search for 'Anglo Celt' and it's the top result. Article itself is gone though.

    Sounds like a crazy situation, hope it's resolved without any further bloodshed.

    Jeez, people on facebook will argue over anything. That Aisling one posting on the Anglo Celt page should really take a zanex and go to bed.

    Well, if he's a smoker he'll have to come outside for a fag at some point.
