Hunt on for gunman who held up church in Dublin

A masked gunman who threatened and robbed people attending a church service in Dublin last Sunday is being sought by gardaí.

Around 40 adults and 25 children were praying when the man, armed with a sawn- off shotgun, entered the Compassion Centre in Ballymun at around midday.

Worshippers at the Christian outreach centre were forced to lie on the ground after being threatened by the gunman.
