Mean theft in pub

Cruel thieves stole the Childrens Charity Bottle in Bardons last week.

It happened the day of the Champions League Final, and the theft is believed to have occurred sometime after 5pm while staff in the bar were busy.

A number of people who had been drinking in the area of the bar where the bottle was located left without finishing their drinks.

The money collected was always given to the Crumlin Childrens Hospital, where a young nephew of Bardons owner Eddie Cross died some years ago.

The last time the bottle was emptied, more than 2,000 euros was given to the hospital.
