Suspected grenade thrown at south Dublin house

Gardaí in Dublin are investigating a suspected grenade attack on a house in the south of the city overnight.

The device was thrown at a house in the Slane Road area of Crumlin just after 11pm, causing some damage to the property.

The building was empty at the time and nobody was injured.

Army bomb disposal experts were called to the scene, which remains sealed off for technical examination this morning.

It is unclear at this stage whether the incident was linked with another suspected grenade attack on a house in the Coombe area earlier this week.
