Two 'Devices' Made Safe In Dublin
Army bomb experts were alerted to two suspect devices on Monday night in what is believed to be two separate incidents.
The bomb disposal unit was initially called to a suspect explosive device at Lower Leeson Street in Dublin on Monday night.
The device, which gardaí described as viable, was found at around 10.00pm near the entrance to Shell Ireland's headquarters at Corrib House. The all-clear was given at around midnight after the disposal squad had made the ordnance safe.
A number of items were taken away for further examination.
During the call out, a second alert was sounded near the junction of North Fredrick Street and Hardwicke Street in the city centre.
The army bomb disposal team arrived at the scene at 11.40am following a Garda request, and carried out a controlled explosion to gain entry to a stolen car that was abandoned at the scene.
Gardaí had information that a suspect device was contained in the vehicle, but no device or explosive content was discovered, and the incident was declared a hoax.
