Four viable devices found in Dublin

Four viable explosive devices have been made safe by an Army bomb disposal team in Dublin tonight.

The devices were found by gardaí after they stopped a stolen car in Harold’s Cross area at 7pm.

The bomb disposal team was deployed to Mount Argus Avenue a short time later. The area was cordoned off, and some nearby houses were evacuated.

The devices were rendered safe in situ without the need for a controlled explosion and were removed to a secure military location for further examination. They will be handed over to the gardaí to assist with their investigation into the incident.

The scene was declared safe at 7.50pm, and the team returned to base.
