Staff and several members of the public were threatened at gunpoint during the incident at Ladbrokes on Saturday evening.
Two raiders entered the shop shortly after 7.30 and escaped with around 400 euro in a waiting Silver Audi A 5, driven by a third man – but the vehicle was abandoned a short distance away.
It’s the second such incident at the bookmakers in recent months and following on from a number of other criminal incidents Ennis Mayor Michael Guilfoyle believes garda cameras need to be installed
