'Stick-up' raider tackled by pensioner and Ukrainian man

"This is a stick-up" is what the first man in a queue told a postmistress as soon as she opened for business - but within minutes, he was arrested and held by a local pensioner and a Ukrainian national.

John Monahan has been given a three-year suspended sentence at Dublin Circuit Criminal Court for his "stick-up" which ended at the hands of 73-year-old Michael Ryan and 28-year-old Dima Shlionchyk.
