Man gets community service for nightclub bomb hoax

A man who called in a bomb scare to a Dublin nightclub causing it to be evacuated because some of his friends had gone there instead of attending his 21st birthday celebrations has to perform 150 hours community service.

Kris Holmes (aged 21) made the hoax bomb call to gardaí on his own mobile phone "in a moment of madness" after some of his friends did not join him at the nightclub where he had his party.
