Controlled explosion carried out on suspicious object in Swords

Object was discovered beneath a car and brought to the Swords Garda Station in Dublin.

Updated at 18:30

THE ARMY BOMB DISPOSAL team was called out to Swords, Co Dublin, after a man drove up to the garda station and told gardaí that there was a suspicious object under his car.

Gardaí evacuated the area and closed off some of the roads into and out of Swords while the army team examined the object.

The Defence Forces carried out a controlled explosion on the object, but said that no explosive material was discovered in it.

The roads have since reopened.

    No wonder Vodafone is sponsoring this with the app for Wi-Fi, because Vodafone’s data plans are awful. Been with ID now for three months and 20gb data for 25 Euro is way better than the 90-160euro a month I was paying with Vodafone!

    Even 3 are better than Vodafone. 20gb data free with 20 euro to up Their customer service though is a joke and you have to get them to unblock their filter as well but it’s still a better deal than Vodafone if you don’t mind that.
