A number of armed robbers entered the bank at Main Street, Kingscourt, shortly before 5pm, and demanded cash from staff. There were no shots fired during the incident, and no injures were reported.

Taking a substantial sum of cash, the men made off in a waiting car which was set alight a short distance away. They then used a second car to complete their escape, driving in the direction of Bailieboro.

Gardaí are appealing to anyone with information to contact them on 042-9694570.
