Raiders fire shot in Irish team hotel

ARMED robbers last night fired a shot in the plush Dublin hotel where the Irish senior soccer squad is staying ahead of tomorrow's international friendly game against Canada.

The three masked raiders fired a shot at the reception ceiling before getting away with the 1,000 contents of the safe at the Portmarnock Golf and Country Club.

Women and children including some of the Irish players' relations were in the hotel lobby when the shot was fired.
