Tribunal: Publican refused to evacuate for bomb scare

A Donegal publican who refused to evacuate his nightclub during a bomb scare instead “ranted and raved” to gardaí about how his family had been harassed by the force, a tribunal heard today.

Now retired garda Inspector James Griffin told the Morris Tribunal that on the night of May 3, 1997, he was called to a bomb scare at Frankie’s Nightclub in Raphoe, which turned out to be a hoax.
