A Longford supermarket was evacuated and sealed off following a bomb threat yesterday evening.
The store received a call around 6 o'clock making the threat, with management making the decision to evacuate staff and customers.
Gardai and the fire service were called to the scene shortly after the call was received.
This is the second time in two years the store has been the victim of a bomb threat.
In 2023, both Dunnes Stores and Longford Shopping Centre were the victim of a bomb threat.
Speaking to Shannonside FM News, Senator Joe Flaherty said he understands the bomb threat was a hoax:
