The_Valeyard

Hmmm, havent heard anything yet, will text and see.

Actually came here to post the same.
Know someone who was on their way to work and they are told to wait outside.

Edit
I'm hearing people say it was an armed robbery.

Came here hoping for info, just saw a headline on Facebook.
Fingers crossed it’s nothing too serious.

Most be hard to get a job as a robber if you have no arms.

That would explain the armed bit, is there any proof he was trying to steal something, or are we just throwing wild accusations around here?

I think a boards reference is even worse than using Wikipedia.

Joking aside though, hope all is OK. Better be safe than sorry. That link to the fella from Clare is the first thing I thought of too.

It's a search for the young armed Clare lad who was spotted there earlier apparently -

There's a post office there at the blue entrance.

Biggest lickspittle on boardz

A picture of the armed Ennis fella, just in case someone is in the area:

Missing person - Jack Dinan (19) Ennis, Clare - last seen on the 31/10/17
Gardaí in Ennis are appealing to the public for assistance in tracing the whereabouts of 19-year-old Jack Dinan missing since the 31st October 2017.
Jack was last seen at his home on Considine Road, Ennis at approximately 10am. Jack is 6ft tall, slim build with black hair. He wears a tooth brace on his upper teeth. Jack may have been wearing a grey hoodie top, grey spot camouflaged jacket when he left home.
Jack’s family are urging him to contact home.

He may be in possession of a green rucksack. Jack is believed to be armed and the public are asked not to approach him, but should contact Gardaí at Ennis Garda Station on 065 6848100 or the emergency numbers 999 or 112.

When last seen he was wearing a grey hoodie top

ye see, this is the dress code for 90% of the young male population in the immediate area. Could be mistaken identity.

I was just on the phone to my mum, who was saying that she wanted to go for a walk, but it was too dark out. I said she should go for a walk around the Blanch Centre instead.

Hung off, saw this, rang back - "Uh, mum. Don't go to the Centre..".

Wasn't me

They're only investigating a report that he could be in Blanch, he could be anywhere else in the country?

According to RTE. According to every other news outlet and people there on twitter the centre has been evacuated by armed Gardaí. Doubt it's a casual look around.

Kermit.de.frog

RTE are saying the center has not been evacuated and that it's a search.

All seems a little sloppy by gardai/authorities. Why are people being allowed mill around the scene?

It is evacuated/it isn't evacuated
