was evacuated by gardai at around 6pm.

It is believed a suspect package was found in the Zara store at the centre.

However shortly before 7pm the package was declared a 'false alarm'.

the amount of looky loos swarming around the garda tape was disgusting!
It really saddens me to think there are that many idiots around.
one gang of tracksuit-mothers swerved their buggy into the tape when they saw a gap, and hassled people who were trying to walk forward who she blocked.

the public only had a small space to move around , outside the 'golden disks' corner on Liffey street and it was choked with asshats with cameras.

maby the authorities could have cleared it a bit by revealing what might happen
'there might be an explosion , get your child's buggy out of the firing line or at least turn it around'

what's a "looky loo", rubberneckers?
"asshat", that's a new one on me also.

Are these common terms or are you inventing your own vernacular.

Aw. That made for a less thrilling story to add to an underwhelming day of study. Thanks for the clarification though.
