€4m robbery has paramilitary hallmarks, says Taoiseach

A robbery in which up to €4m was stolen had the hallmarks of a well organised raid by a paramilitary group, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said today.

But he said that until a garda investigation into the crime in which a family were held hostage overnight was completed, it would be impossible to know whether it was the work of a paramilitary group or criminal gang.
