Despite the pub part of the premises being closed for several weeks now, the gang held the occupant at knifepoint and demanded money from the tills.Thankfully the owner of the pub was not physically harmed in the ordeal.

A garda spokesman told The Irish Daily Mirror that no arrests have been made to date and investigations are ongoing.
