THE ARMY BOMB Disposal Team was called to a house in Co Galway this afternoon to deal with a viable improvised explosive device (IED).
The Defence Forces deployed the team to a private residence in Clonboo, close to the Mayo border, following a request from Gardaà earlier today.
The team arrived on scene at shortly after 1:35, made the device safe, and removed it to a secure military location for examination and forensic exploitation.
The scene was declared safe at 2:35pm.
The callout was the 235th explosive ordnance disposal mission of 2011, and the 54th time that bomb disposal teams have encountered a viable device.
