Deputy Derek Keating (FG) condemned the incident, and said: “This sinister act is a major threat to society but, to be used at this time of year, when young people are more likely to be out in the dark
at Halloween, is a major threat to life. “Had the device gone off, there would have been a serious threat to the lives of the children in the area,” he said. Full Story on Page 4
