Explosive device thrown into Dublin pub

A crude, homemade viable device was thrown through the window of the Stoneboat Pub in the Sundrive area of Crumlin last night, an army spokesperson said today.

"Following a request from the Gardaí an Army Bomb Disposal Team arrived on the scene at 11.30pm," a statement said.

"Following an examination of the device it was decided that it should be removed for further examination."

The device was made safe at the scene without the need for a controlled explosion. The scene was declared safe at 1am.
