category national | miscellaneous | news report author Friday February 21, 2003 14:29author by Concerned

did anyone else see TV3 last night before 9pm? I saw the TV and there was a bulletin. No other news reported anything about the bomb alert. Why not? Was there a media blackout due to it being at Shannon? Anyone who knows anything,please reply

Saw reports last night that Gardai are investigating a hoax bombscare phoned in from a pub in Dublin. Heard nothing more about it. I guess it was some drunken maniac's idea of a joke.

Joke?

Maybe is was someone's idea of "direct action".

Unlikely but why set people up?

Hey 'expat' you should think a little before sending that sort of comment out - certain forces like the Sindo may use it as 'proof' that some part of the anti-war movement are behind such actions. How'd you like to open you Sunday paper to find the headlione 'Gleeful boasts on Indymedia of bomb hoax'. Plus we know the cops read the newswire - your stupid 'hints' might result in people getting raided.

'c'mon man, im sure the state propaganda machine would be able to come up with that idea on their own, no need for persecution paranoia on the E-waves.
