🇮🇪#Ireland: A 66-year-old man has been arrested and charged after a car bomb exploded outside a police station in Dunmurry, west Belfast, last Saturday.
The perpetrator allegedly hijacked a delivery driver’s car and forced him to drive it to the location, where a gas cylinder had been placed inside and later detonated remotely.
While some sources report he has been charged with attempted murder, others say he is also facing terrorism-related offences. Police believe the attack may be linked to the dissident republican group known as the New IRA.

In a statement, the Irish Minister for Justice said that once the army is deployed, people should not complain about any damage caused during the removal.

Ireland, Rock of Cashel 🇮🇪
The Rock of Cashel is one of the most visited landmarks in Ireland, also known as St. Patrick's Rock. It is also referred to as the Rock of Kings. ⛰
🏰 Located in the ancient Celtic cathedral in County Tipperary, Ireland. The castle, built in the 4th century, was the royal residence of the provinces of southern Ireland; after 100 years, St. Patrick settled there. After Cromwell's army attacked, the castle complex became a symbol of the resilience and courage of the Irish people.
The castle grounds still preserve residential buildings, structures for agricultural purposes, and the ruins of the cathedral.
