AN ARMY BOMB disposal team has made safe an explosive device found at a Cork estate earlier this evening.
The bomb squad was deployed after a request from the gardaí. A suspect device had been found outside a home in the Churchfield area of Gurranabraher by a member of the public.
The team arrived on scene at 6.20pm and the bomb was made safe at the scene without the need for a controlled explosion.
Component parts from the device were then brought to a secure military location for further examination. They’ll eventually be handed over to investigating gardaí.
The scene was declared safe at 7.20 pm, according to a Defence Forces spokesperson.

A nice bomb is just what the north side needs!
Sometimes I think we should have a sign that says “Welcome to Cork xx days without an embarrassing incident”
Im showing my age here, I wouldn’t have a clue what a bomb looks like to call it in!
the oversized alarm clock and the ticking sound normally sets off alarm bells..

More commonly known as the back road. This was notorious spot for joyriding in the 90s a stretch of straight road about 2km long . A formula 1 style chicane was put in to give it a feel or a real joyride !
