Gardaí are continuing to question three men this evening in connection with an attempted robbery at a Post Office in Creggs on Monday.

Two men wearing masks threatened staff with a shotgun, but didn't manage to get any cash from the till.

Investigating Gardaí arrested three men, all in their thirties, with Roscommon addresses in Ballyhaigue near Williamstown shortly after 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon.

All three are being detained under section 50 of the criminal justice act 2007, and can be held for up to seven days.
