Gardaí have issued an appeal for information about an overnight armed raid on a pub in Co Westmeath.
The raid was carried out on Paddy Ryan's pub in Horseleap at about 3am this morning.
Four masked men entered the premises and held staff who were cleaning up hostage before getting away with cash and mobile phones.
Gardaí are asking anyone who may have been in the town around that time last night to contact them.
