Nightclub raid started silver bullet saga
The Silver Bullet affair began in August 1997, when a petty criminal from Sligo, Bernard Conlon, was found drinking after hours in a Raphoe nightclub owned by the McBrearty family.
Conlon, described as unreliable, was the only one out of 40 or so punters enjoying a country and western night in Frankie’s to have his name taken when gardai raided the pub.
