Stand down! That 'air raid siren' heard across Dublin was not the nuclear holocaust
Come out from under those desks.
RELAX. THERE IS no reason to believe that Dublin is about to be attacked in an air raid. There’s no sign of a nuclear meltdown either.
A loud siren heard all across the Dublin bay area had a lot of Dubliners spooked this morning, and some wondering if the end was nigh.
But, thankfully, it wasn’t the beginnings of World War III but just a drill at Dublin Port.
Dublin Port have confirmed that the siren was part of a Poolbeg evacuation drill.
Phew!
That news is sure to be a relief to all these people who feared for their lives when they heard it going off.
Whoops!
