Irish Intrigue

So one of the exciting things about living next to a bunch of foreign embassies is that sometimes you get unexplained policemen standing in your yard watching the Irish Embassy across the street for half the day and then the whole street gets cordoned off (is that how you spell that word?). We don't know why all this happened today but we think it may be some kind of bomb threat. My question is, who has it out for the Irish? And why the embassy in Denmark? I don't know of any particularly strong anti-Irish feeling here in Denmark but I have been a little out of touch with the Danes, my so-called finger isn't exactly on the pulse of the community here. To add more unanswered questions to the pot, the blocking-of-the-street was all ended by 5:45 this evening and now no one is around. So, although this makes great food for the imagination (maybe the next Bourne movie will take place in the Irish Embassy in Denmark), it really doesn't make us, as across-the-street neighbors, feel completely safe. Don't worry, I'll let you know if there's any more international intrigue--even if I don't have any idea what's really happening.
