AN ARMY BOMB disposal team has made safe a viable improvised explosive device (IED) found in Tipperary in the early hours of the morning.
A number of residents were evacuated from their homes in the Grange area of Roscrea as the bomb disposal team worked to defuse the device, which was discovered near a vehicle.
The area was cordoned off and a controlled explosion was carried out on the device before the scene was declared safe at 4.4am.
The device was the 22nd IED made safe by a bomb disposal team so far this year.
