THE ARMY BOMB Dispoal Team has made a quantity of unsafe chemicals safe after being called to a pharmacy in Thurles, Co Tipperary today.
A quantity of unstable Picric Acid was discovered at the premises on the main square this afternoon during a routine audit of chemicals.
The Defence Forces team arrived on the scene at 11.30am and removed the chemical to an area of waste ground. A controlled explosion was carried out there and the scene was declared safe at 12.30pm.
The acid is a chemical reagent commonly roused in laboratories and chemists. It can crystallise over time, becoming unstable and sensitive to shock or friction.

Noonan Central Bank et al please stay the hell away from our credit unions! Only a few years ago you denied them ATM machines because the banks asked you to! You don’t get to cream off of them for ridiculous cloans (crony loans…new word :) They and the GAA are our two national successes because of governments limited input. If they are in trouble please don’t help! as I’m sure there would be a dark payback down the line.
Here here they look after the ordinary person Government we are telling you back off and hands off our CREDIT UNION
When the Gov’t tells you everything’s all right, that’s the time to start worrying . . .
Noonan: People should ‘rest easy’ about credit unions
Well if mister noonan said it then there’s nothing to worry about. And pigs will fly :)
I hope he hasn’t just given our credit unions the kiss of death !!!
It’s not the Credit Unions I’m worried about… it’s the corrupt interests of our defunct Central Bank meddling with them. It’s a little bit late to be worried about regulation now….
Remember Neary’s assurance! He got a nice amount of shut-up money for his expertise at being strategically incompetent.
And we should believe a proven liar because…
Yea believe a liar is right we believe every word out of their mouths …… As lies, lies and more lies
I wish that we could sack these liars charge the whole lot if them and have them &@@@@@@ locked up and the keys thrown and kept on dry bread and water …. But then I wake up and know I was dreaming and my nightmare is real the @@@@@@@ are making a bigger mess each hour of everyday
Groundhog day. How many times in 08 were ‘rest easy’ assurances given about the banks – the ‘best capitalised’ in Europe according to the Financial Regulator at the time. When will the government respect the people and realise not all of us are either dense or gullible? Whenever an Irish minister gives a positive opinion on the financial sector, it should be packaged with a health warning. How many other credit union branches are on the edge, that is what the savers want to know.
Up and down the country in small towns there are management committees bricking it as to whether they will get money back from maybe 5, 10 or 20 “small time developers/builders” who they have lent money to. Add into these the normal provisions that they have to make for general arrears (which are rising) and some are probably getting very close to the edge. Newbridge is not going to be the last here. the problem is no one still knows why the special manager was put in apart from some fuddy duddy stuff about regulator issues which covers a mulititude.
It’s no surprise that the credit unions are on trouble. Once you had a few bob saved with them they let any body take out a loan. Unfortunately they are a complete soft touch to regards to getting the money they are owed back..and people just took them for a ride
Mark, you know nothing about Credit Unions. They have a much lower right off rate compared to banks on like for like loans such as car or holiday loans, when you include mortgage and business loans in banks, then banks have a right off rate about 20 times of credit unions
And the blood transfusion service was fit for purpose as well !!
The credit unions are well funded, we have turned the corner…. Sounds familiar!
Michael, would you please search in Google for ” tsb hanna foley” and tell us that we can believe you?

Noonan get lost!
I would rest easy about everything if so called Irish Governments had not been falsifying the rule books of Ireland over 8300 times since 1922 to use opinions.
There are no opinions in mathematics and the department of finance has some peculiar questions to answer at a later date.
Most public servants do not work out when they have an opinions and when they do not, let alone how to apply opinions in mathematics when you can’t.
Why is every comment from you about “opinions” you make no sense to anyone except you
@Jay funk: The purpose of opinions in law is to commit crime and hide the details allowing them and there cronies to avoid prosecution.
When it comes to stealing from social welfare recipients to hide their economic mistakes it will be treason and crimes against humanity.
How could this not worry you?
If you could be more specific we might understand you. It’s good to be loyal but better to be understood.
@loyal most people don’t understand legal speak and I’m sure some of your points are valid but make them in plain English when on a general news site and you might be more effective
@Réada Quinn: An opinion by definition is about hiding the specific details.
What’s hard to understand?
What do you want me to specific about?
@Jay funk: You don’t have to be trained in law to work out opinions hide details.
Can you have an opinion on a book you have never read? The answer is no. You have to read a book first. There are over 5 Million books in Ireland. Who do you know will read 5 Million books? Nobody. If you read 4 books a week you read 12, 480 books in a life time from the age of 10 until 70. Compare 12,480 to 5,000,000 means that 99 percent of the time you do not have opinions. What is an opinion that does not exist? Nobody knows. How do you obey law with opinions that do not exist? You can’t. All they do with opinions in law is to falsify everything and commit crime.
All you have to do is sit down and ask yourself a few questions about opinions. When do you have opinions and when do you not. Its not that difficult.
have your say
