A NUMBER OF HOMES were evacuated as a viable homemade bomb was made safe by army experts near Carrickmines in Dublin last night.
The device was found at a private residence in the Ballyogan area and the army bomb disposal team were called to the house by gardaí.
The team arrived at the scene while a cordon and road closures were put in place and a number of nearby houses were evacuated.
The Defence Forces say that the device was made safe at the scene without the need for a controlled explosion.
It was then brought to a military location where it will be examined further before being handed over to gardaí.
