Dublin area re-opened after earlier bomb alert

GARDAÍ HAVE REOPENED an area of Dublin’s city centre after it was closed off earlier this evening following a bomb alert. The area between Amien Street and Talbot Street, just off the city’s main O’Connell St, was sealed off when a suspicious device was identified just after 8pm; the Army explosives ordinance unit was sent to the scene, but the area has since been reopened. It is understood that the suspicious device was not dangerous.
