Limerick’s Milford National School was evacuated this morning after somebody called in a bomb threat at roughly 10am.
Emergency services arrived on the scene and conducted a full sweep, before confirming that the phone-call was nothing more than a hoax.
Red FM have confirmed that the school’s pupils were led safely back into the school roughly two hours after the incident began.
