Brian Maguire head of fine art in NCAD member of Aosdana called the police after receiving a shipment of decommissioned AK-47s imported from the British Ministry of defence by an MA student for an art project. The student who says that McGuire had been informed about the guns now faces a disciplinary hearing. You've got to wonder did he really think that
1. a student would be able to source AK-47s
2. if he did he would post them
3. to his professor at art college
It's great to know that the education of a future generation of Irish artists is in safe hands.
