Suspect device in Dublin housing estate deemed non-viable by bomb disposal team

The device has been seized for further examination.

A SUSPECT DEVICE found in a north Dublin housing estate has been deemed non-viable after an examination by an army bomb disposal team last night.

Gardaí were called to reports of a suspect device in an open space in the Cranogue Close area of Poppintree, Ballymun at 7pm.

The scene was cordoned off and a Defence Forces bomb disposal team was deployed to investigate the device.

A garda spokesperson confirmed this morning that the device was deemed not viable and no controlled explosion was carried out at the scene.

The device was seized for further examinations and gardaí said investigations are ongoing.

    Emm, who is the woman in this photo …

    ‘ A mock Presidential debate at Assumption Secondary School, Walkinstown. We think it’s mock. Image:’

    She looks nothing like the woman in any of the posters running for president… Is it Dana ?

    Looks like the real Seanie is gone to ground-was supposed to be on local radio today, but on mature reflection, decided against it.

    Yes it would Diarmuid. No I am not of fan of Davis. I am a fan of standards in photojournalism, however. If you think she looks well in the posters, then you need to address the focus issue you have with your eyes. Michael D will get my vote, as he is the only one fit to represent the Irish people.
