Republicans Target Charity Fundraiser
Republicans are being blamed for planting suspect devices in Hillsborough this afternoon, disrupting an annual Oyster Festival that raises funds for cystic fibrosis. Just after 1:30 pm, bomb warnings were phoned in. Army technicians carried out controlled explosions after the centre of the village was closed off, disrupting the festival goers.
Obviously unhappy that the government isn't appeasing them enough, the republicans have decided to turn on innocent people attending an event that raises money for a charity for people with a serious illness.
Follow up:
"The whole event is run for Cystic Fibrosis Trust and everything we make goes to them so they have suffered a significant loss of income today. Hopefully, the streets will be given the all clear shortly and we will be able to get back and start enjoying ourselves again."

It's amazing the levels to which people will stoop to pursue an agenda that nearly nobody supports, but then again appeasement of an unapologetic Sinn Fein/IRA has shown them just how well violence can work.
