    Gardaí are investigating an aggravated burglary in Co Galway last night.

    They say two men wearing balaclavas entered a house in Ballard East, Barna at around 9pm and demanded money from the owner.

    One man was armed with what is believed to have been a firearm.

    Iirc Ballard east is the road that is behind Barna Woods, i.e. its entrance is directly across from the road down to Silver Strand - but don't quote me on that. Serious amount of burglaries the last while in Moycullen, wonder if it's the same ****ers.

    The news on this has dried up very quickly.
    Starting to wonder did it happen at all?

    The victim is reported to have been hurt. I can't imagine why anyone would have beaten him up; I worked for him years ago, and he is a very gentle man.

    I really hope that the people who did this are found, and found quickly.
