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.

Poll: Should Ireland be tougher on multi-national companies when it comes to tax?
AT A HIGH-profile US Senate meeting, technology giant Apple was accused of using Ireland as a ‘tax haven’.
The multinational firm, which employs 4,000 people in Ireland, reportedly avoided paying €34 billion in US taxes by negotiating a tax rate of less than 2 per cent with the Irish government – significantly lower than that nation’s 12.5 per cent statutory rate.
The Senate heard that American children are losing out on education because Apple is transferring profits to Irish subsidiaries.
However, the Taoiseach Enda Kenny has denied that Ireland is a tax haven and rejected claims that authorities had negotiated deals with multi-national companies.
So, today we want to know, what do you think? Should Ireland be tougher on multi-national companies when it comes to tax?
