Police are hunting the criminal who attached an explosive device to a car before it exploded in his face.
He is said to have fled the scene in Dublin 'dripping in blood' at around 11pm on Sunday.
While the rest of the nation made sure to change the time on their clocks and watches, the hopeful bomber forgot to do so and the device went off too early.
The high-grade explosives set the Volvo 4x4 car on fire, which was parked on Long Lane.
The attacker is believed to have climbed into a cab on the junction of New Street and Clanbrassil Street soon after the blaze started.

The car belonged to a local businessman and he is unhurt after the attack.
It is not known whether he was actually in the car when the explosion happened.
Three fire crews and two ambulances arrived on the scene after it was reported.
The medical crews did not take any casualties from the scene and this led to questions as to the injured bomber's whereabouts.
Officers are appealing for the man to come forward saying: “We are concerned as to this person's wellbeing.”
