Explosive warning from republicans…

| Readers 1

IS this for real? According to the Indo, the political wing of the Continuity IRA yesterday issued a warning to the public about the dangers of transporting explosives! Bizarre…

“There is a danger associated with moving explosives through a city and indeed through towns and villages,” said Sean O’Neill, community affairs spokesman for Republican Sinn Fein.

“It is a tragedy waiting to happen and we are now calling for all explosives to be moved during the night or indeed a new way of transporting explosives to be introduced.”

The Independent tells us that quarrying in Kerry as well as current roadworks on the Ennis bypass meant that explosives were being ferried through towns and villages as well as through Limerick city at peak traffic times.
