Fire threat man surrenders at FAI headquarters

A man who barricaded himself into FAI headquarters earlier this afternoon has given himself up.

Maxi McAllister from Dundalk threatened to blow up the building on Merrion Square in Dublin, because Dundalk Football Club was not allowed into the new Irish Premiership.

After speaking to the media from a window, he left the building and then doused himself in petrol. He appeared to be in his 30s.

He was then taken into Garda custody and removed from the scene in a Garda van.
