A SECONDARY school was cordoned off yesterday and gardai called in after an explosion in a student's locker.
The drama unfolded at Magh Ene College, a secondary school in Bundoran, Co Donegal. The alert was raised when a caretaker opened the complex yesterday.
Two lockers were damaged and the door was blown off one of them.
Batteries and wires were discovered in one of the lockers after the blast.
Gardai are investigating the possibility that there may have been a break-in at the school prior to the explosion.
They are still trying to establish exactly what happened.
As yet there have been no arrests.
An Army bomb disposal unit from Finner Camp was called out about 2.30pm.
They confirmed that an explosion had taken place. Gardai forensic experts also examined the scene.
