A good-natured public donation to a military museum led to the deployment of the Army Bomb Disposal Team to assess an eighteen pound bomb on Friday
The Irish Military Museum, outside Collon, Co. Louth was cordoned off by gardai after owner William Sullivan notified the authorities of the projectile gifted to him by a member of the public
Thankfully, army experts confirmed it contained no explosives but civic-minded William said he wasn't taking any chances.
