A man in his 50s is in custody after a siege ended in Bailieborough, Co. Cavan shortly before 4am.

At around 7:30 pm on Thursday evening, the man is believed to have entered the Square Bar with a firearm. He ordered customers and staff to leave and barricaded himself in.

The discovery of a woman’s body in the Drumbannon estate on Thursday is being linked to the standoff. Garda negotiators and the Emergency Response Unit attended the scene.

I just wanted to share a video with you that I made of my dad – Huby Harton – who has been told on countless occasions that he is the spitting image of the man in the Southern Comfort Whatevers Comfortable ad. I’m not being biased here but he really is!! He’s a country and western singer from Co. Cavan so we decided to make our own version of the video and place one of his songs – his version of “Ghost Riders in the Sky” – in the background!
