President Robinson Dead

[Drivindeath]

President Mary Robinson was leaving her residence and entered her vehicle that her driver Mark Kelly brought to the front of her house. President Robinson’s destination was Trinity College to speak with the students. The presidential convoy came to a stop at the intersection of Chancery St. and Ormond Square, just past Four Courts.
A protest blocked the convoy. Nearly all the protesters where wearing masks. A member of the crowd was seen walking toward the Presidential Car, carrying an object in his hand. The lone crowd member threw the object at the hood of the Presidential Car. A large explosion went off. Dublin Police and Garda Síochána cordoned the area.
President Mary Robinson was found dead in the back seat of her Presidential car along with Mark Kelly. Three other individuals were found dead including the individual who threw the bomb. The terrorist was not identified. An estimated 50 protesters are injured. Witnesses heard the bomb thrower yell “UP THE RA” as he threw the bomb.
This is truly a sad day, as a nation morn for their loss of a genuinely great leader. The funeral is to be held on the 15th of January. President Robinson is survived by her loving husband Nicholas Robinson.
