THREE customers in an Irish pub tackled and held an armed robber until gardaí arrived.
The customers were in a pub on Firhouse Road in Dublin when they foiled the attempted armed robbery last night, shortly before midnight.
A man in his 30s has been arrested in connection with the incident.
The man went into the bar shortly holding what is believed to be a firearm.
He threatened staff and demanded money, but three customers challenged him and held him until the police arrived.
A gun was recovered from the scene and has been sent for technical examination.
