A SUSPICIOUS DEVICE has been found on Amiens Street in Dublin city centre this morning.
Connolly Station was evacuated and closed because of the security alert, while an emergency response team was deployed to examine the device.
Services were temporarily suspended, but Irish Rail has tweeted that the station has reopened and full services will now resume, albeit with delays. The company thanked the gardaí and army for “doing a crucial job dealing with situations like this”.
On Sunday evening, part of this area of Dublin was sealed off after a suspicious device was discovered between Amiens Street and Talbot Street.

Surprised they’re not closing the lines for maintenance instead.
@Harry Callahan: maintenance is very important would you not agree.
@paulie: A lot more important than any Rugby game
We need longer trains with a reseteraunt/cafe/Bar carriage on inter city trains. A tap is essential
Bring in the crowds
@Furious George – The Wasp: platforms aren’t long enough.
This should not be news.
@Louise Peppard: It’s not ‘official news’.
@Louise Peppard: It’s traffic news
Extra trains for a rugby & hurling match but not for the commuters that are packed like sardines.
The same commuters that pay for the majority of the tickets the nicely boosts profits
@Jim: can’t run extra it’s at capacity already Jimmy.
Deadly
Was this announcement made 3 hours ago (as is this post) for games today?
@Trevor Beacom: Doesn’t matter Trev. Most people going to the Rugby are already in D4, no need for a train. James will drop them over in the Bentley
@FoxyBoiiYT: Still trolling Leinster early on sat, good man.
