TWO MEN HAVE been arrested near Kilbeggan in Co. Westmeath in connection with an attempted armed robbery in the Dublin suburb of Clonsilla.
They were intercepted by officers from the Traffic Corps and the Regional Support Unit some 40 minutes after the failed raid at a post office on the Clonsilla Road.
The alarm was raised at around 10.20am, after two men armed with a handgun and a hammer entered the post office and threatened staff.
They left the scene empty-handed and sped away on a motorbike. However, their movements were tracked by gardaí, and they were intercepted shortly before 11am on the M6 near Kilbeggan.
Both men are aged in their early 20s. They’ve been taken for questioning to Blanchardstown Garda Station where they’re being held under Section 30 of the Offences against the State Act.
Hopefully they’ll get some answers and closure. It must be terrible having those doubts.
Raises more questions than answers. Thats Dylan Moran !
I remember this case very strange.it was in Clara. Hometown of the Brian and Barry cowen. Strange that the CCTV tapes went missing and were found 13 years later in a locker. although gardai had collected them from around the town .
What’s Brian and Barry cowen got to do with it?
She brings them into everything!
Absolutely nothing. But for people not familiar with the county. Just though I would mention someone everyone knows that’s from the town like people do when castlebar is mentioned , hometown of enda Kenny or Michael martin and cork. Did I touch a nerve or something.
Come on ger. Show where I bring the cowens in to everything. Ridiculous comment. But not surprising from you.
At least, there wasn’t ever anybody famous from Blueball…
Ah ger. Still trying. God love you. Keep going .your great for a laugh . Is that where your from and not the mole district. Cause I ain’t. But you can think that if you want. On the bright side you would never find me , since yhst seems to be your thing trying to locate people.
you’re*…that*…mole? Ok Fred…
But they do a great show every year there ger. You should know having live stock and all. Bet your down there every year with your ould wellies on.
livestock*…you’re*…old*
No you didn’t touch a nerve, but I’ll keep a lookout in other articles for your who’s who in Ireland’s villages!
I don’t believe anything Philip Boucher Hayes reports ever since his ‘evidence’ about a now deported asylum seeker
Haha ger. Do some reading. Next time you set up fake Facebook page , you better do your research. You haven’t a clue. Hilarious.
Bet you went to school in Reigate as well.
Tullamore, actually.
Clara. Perhaps the Garda investigation into the brutal murder of Fr Niall Molloy at Clara needs to be reviewed also? There appears to have major flaws in the investigation by Gardai also, and no conviction. As is the case for the Tuohey Family – justice delayed is justice denied for all those affected.
Dear oh dear… not another Gardai Keystone Cops investigation bungled..
have your say
