Four nightclubs evacuated after bomb scares

Gardaí are investigating after four nightclubs in different parts of the country had to be evacuated last night, following hoax bomb warnings.

Gardaí were informed of suspect devices in nightclubs in Claremorris in Co Mayo, in Tullamore in Co Offaly, in Ballinsloe in Co Galway and in Galway City at around 11pm last night.

However, each incident was a hoax and customers were allowed back into each of the nightclubs at around 1am.

Gardaí are appealing for anyone with information to come forward.
