The explosion, which occurred at 1:30 AM, caused significant damage but no injuries, as only a skeleton staff was on duty. This incident marked the first loyalist bombing in the Republic of Ireland during the escalating tensions that would lead to the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The attack was a clear signal of the growing sectarian conflict spilling across the border.",1789333840901]
