ON ONE OF the busiest weekends of the year, Marks & Spencer was forced to close its Grafton St store for an evacuation.
Shoppers were confused as to why the store’s shutters were down this afternoon:
A staff member told TheJournal.ie that due to a “false alarm” the store was evacuated.
She said that it will “probably reopen soon”.
A garda spokesperson said they had not been contacted about the evacuation, so it was unlikely it was a garda or criminal matter.

As per usual, Minister Ross is off partying with his feather boa and is nowhere to be seen other than on some Z-Lister’s Instagram page. They wouldn’t stand for this on the continent
@Bertie Was Great: they wouldn’t stand for a “mechanical fault” of the continent !!!….
@old fecker: A certain Mr Hitler eradicated those alright.
Let’s be fair to the Minister…. he could be at a ‘boa’rd meeting…
@Sean Callan: the only way to resolve the issue is to sack a few of the maintenance staff who are responsible for the upkeep of the fleet. You can rest assured that the vast majority of these staff are on extended coffee breaks most of the day giving out about how they are not paid enough for drinking coffee. Not an easy task due to the solidarity of their comrades etc etc. Ransom specialists is all they are.
@Bertie Was Great: Not an employee, work for myself, and I am currently on holidays, which are of course, in my case, ‘unpaid’ (just using that word to help you understand). Congrats, you are 100% incorrect, 100%.
@Bewarethebeardz: Being on the dole is not the same as working for yourself. Some of us are flat out this week keeping the fledgling economy afloat! 100%
@Bertie Was Great: Just so we are clear, I’ve been working since i was 16 either for myself or as an employee. I’ve been lucky enough to have never needed the dole. And no, I have never received any handouts from anyone.
