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 Alan Shatter have made his Prime Time comments?
INDEPENDENT TD MICK Wallace is to file a complaint about the Minister for Justice’s use of information on RTÉ’s Prime Time last week.
Alan Shatter said on live television that the Wexford deputy benefited from garda discretion when he was cautioned for using a mobile phone – but not given penalty points. Wallace insists he is not aware of such an incident.
Shatter has stood by his remarks and he has also been backed by the Taoiseach who said that “people can’t have it both ways”. “You cannot be saying no discretion and at the same time availing of discretion.”
Labour Deputy Kevin Humphreys told Newstalk Breakfast this morning that he thought making the remarks was “poor judgement” on the minister’s part. He called on Shatter to explain how he received the information. Others have claimed the information could have been made public in a different manner, and not on live television without giving Wallace prior warning.
In today’s poll, we ask: Should Alan Shatter have made his comments about Mick Wallace on Prime Time?
