Southill shebeen closed after raid

THE Southill shebeen was closed down last night when gardaí raided the premises.

All the drink was confiscated and taken to Roxboro Garda station. It is believed the raid was mounted after a directive from the Director of Public Prosecutions.

The shebeen has been operating for the past five months and had been raided a number of times by gardaí. However, on each occasion it restocked and commenced operations within hours.
