Gardaí investigate marsupial ‘prank’

ALLEGATIONS that a kangaroo or wallaby died after being given drink at a birthday disco are being investigated by gardaí.

The marsupial was let loose among more than 150 revellers dancing at the Clarion Hotel in Liffey Valley, west Dublin, to the theme tune of Australian television show Skippy The Bush Kangaroo.

The creature was believed to have been hired for the prank, which has outraged animal welfare campaigners.
