Army bomb experts make two 'viable' devices safe

Army bomb disposal experts have been called to deal with two separate suspicious devices in Dublin.

The team made safe a viable device discovered outside Corrib House on Leeson Street having been alerted to the scene by Gardaí at 10.30pm last night.

The all-clear was given less than an hour later after a controlled explosion was carried out on what's being described as a simple, improvised explosive device.

As the bomb disposal team was dealing with the first incident, they were alerted to another suspicious object found outside Emmet Buildings on Watling Street.

The all clear was given just before midnight after the device was declared to be a hoax.
