Dublin: Houses evacuated after discovery of suspicious device

A number of houses in the Clondalkin area of west Dublin were evacuated for a time this morning following the discovery of a suspicious device.

The object was spotted beneath a car in Lindisfarne Vale shortly after midnight.

It is believed to have been on fire on at the time.

Army bomb disposal experts were called to the scene and removed the device for further examination, but it is unclear whether it was a hoax or a viable bomb.
