The Army Bomb Disposal Team have rendered safe a historic, viable Mills-type grenade in the Phoenix Park in Dublin this evening.

Friends of a man who died after taking ecstasy while attending a concert at the Phoenix Park told an inquest that he was “rambling” and talking to people who were not there.

A plan to re-open the Phoenix Park underground rail line would solve the problem of linking Connolly Station and Dublin Airport at a stroke, Fine Gael transport spokesperson Denis Naughten TD said today.
