Broadcaster Gerry Ryan Found Dead
Irish Broadcaster Gerry Ryan has died in Dublin this morning. The body of the 53-year-old was found at his Leeson Street apartment earlier today. The father-of-five from Clontarf in Dublin had been broadcasting on 2fm for over two decades. Gardaí say they are investigating. However, foul play is not suspected.
No Bail In US Robbery
As Natasha McShane, 23, from Silverbridge remains in a critical but stable condition after a robbery attack on 23 April in the USA, a woman suspected of involvement has been denied bail by a Chicago court. Marcy Cruz, 25, was charged with aggravated battery and armed robbery, the same charges against her boyfriend Heriberto Viramontes, 31. He was denied bail by the same court on Wednesday.
Bomb Alert Ends
Residents in Londonderry who had to be moved from their homes on Thursday night because of a security alert were able to return to their homes shortly before 1am this morning. The alert, at Abercorn Place in Derry, has since been declared a hoax after a controlled explosion was carried out on a suspicious object which was then removed for examination. SDLP Councillor Helen Quigley has strongly condemned those responsible for last night's security alert. "The police clearly believed this presented a credible threat as they called in the bomb squad. Whoever can do this type of things cares nothing for the people of the locality. There is no support for this type of activity and I would urge those responsible to desist immediately," she said.
