Garda appeal after kidnap

GARDAÍ have renewed their appeal for information about a kidnapping at a post office in Co Limerick in which €100,000 was stolen.

The postmaster’s son Tommy Kelliher, 25, was held by an armed gang for about eight hours during a terrifying ordeal which began on Tuesday morning.

The 25-year-old, who was looking after the family business for his parents, Tom and Geraldine Kelliher, who were on holidays, was confronted at the rear of the post office at 8.30am by an armed and masked man.
