    I'll be shocked if there isn't a bomb this week.

    And if there is...i'm pointing the blame directly at Kenny.

    Anyone with an ounce of common sense would know there would be an attempt.

    The risk of this trip far outways the reward (of which I can't see any, apart from a symbolic photo op.).

    They aint gonna shoot you ffs, but they may get pissed if the see some figure sneaking up through bushes.

    They may well shoot if he's spotted sneaking up on them and he doesn't respond or comply with them! Darkness + high tension atmosphere + some eejit sneaking up on armed personnel = a recipe for disaster :pac: GO ON INVESTMENT YA GOOD THING

    And I should be alright it's just very distressing what I'm hearing

    Same. Twitter really comes into it's own with stuff like this, but you have to wade through a bit of crap first.

    In all seriousness why would there be a bomb scare in Maynooth?

    The queen is not going near there

    I hope the people responsible for this are caught they are putting innocent lives at risk

    Leave it on the bus and detonate it in the city tomorrow perhaps?

    I think I'll walk to work tomorrow...

    Everyone CALM DOWN and look at the facts.

    If it is a bomb(I would be surprised)

    Its on a bus. This rules it out it being a large bomb.
    That also pretty much rules out any complex detonator, ie timer, remote detonation etc.
    Which means its probably a pipe bomb.
    Which are generally light a fuse or short timer jobs.

    Now, why would they bomb a bus?
    To get the queen? Would have to be a spectacular to have any chance. As I already said this is not the case, if it is a bomb it is small.
    Now why would they want to kill people on a bus?

    Simple answer, they wouldn't.

    Could perhaps be part of a ploy to get the bus network to shut down tomorrow. Say public transport is pulled because of threats, that in addition to road closures would probably bring the economic activity of the city tomorrow to a halt. An old republican tactic was to attack the economic interests of those it opposed
