BOMB DISPOSAL EXPERTS from the Defence Forces have deemed a suspect device found in the Liffey Valley area as “non-viable”.

A man in his 30s has been arrested under public order legislation and is detained at a garda station in Dublin.

Experts from the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team responded to a request for assistance from gardaí this evening at around 8:20pm. The suspect device was assessed and deemed non-viable.

The scene has now been handed over to gardaí and the operation has concluded.
