THE ARMY BOMB DISPOSAL Team have carried out a controlled explosion on an improvised explosive device (IED) found in Fingal Cemetary in Balgriffin north Dublin.
The Defence Forces confirmed that the Army Bomb Disposal Team were called to a cemetery on the Malahide – Baldoyle Road when Gardaí alerted them to the discovery of a suspect device.
A commemoration for the murdered Real IRA boss Alan Ryan was held at the cemetery at the weekend but it is not believed that the pipe bomb was found near Ryan’s grave.
The team arrive at the scene at 2.20 pm this afternoon and a cordon and traffic restrictions were put in place for public safety.
The device was then taken to an open green area nearby and made safe by a controlled explosion. The scene was declared safe at 3.50 pm.
There were no graves or gravestones damaged in the course of this operation according to authorities.

Trying to blow up a deadman . Two rival drug gangs pretending to be republicans and this is the carry on you get. Do us all a favor and go to hell.You don’t act for me and the rest of the irish people
Again I ask the question who the hell is planting all these devices over the last year ? Is it a gang or ira or wtf?
The IRA are a gang.
Sexy
Again I ask you as to how any sane person could use such a nom de plum and then deem it acceptable to comment upon or ask questions about serious matters such as this particular security issue. Grow up.
You gotta love these patriots …. So proud of them and the tricolour they represent !!! Come on … Can you not see they are doing this for dear old Ireland’s freedom
Those darn zombies playing with explosives ….
Just as well these idiots are not smart enough to rig the bombs to explode. If they had brains they would be dangerous!
Was it the Balgriffin cemetary or the fingal one? The fingal cemetary is on the malahide/baldoyle road, but the balgriffin cemetary is hidden from view near the malahide road only. Only a short distance from one to the other.
So it was fingal. My previous question looks dumb without any notification that the article has now changed.
It was fingal mick
I, like countless others, have loved ones buried in this cemetary. I am disgusted that the grave of one man puts the graves of decent honest people at risk. Aside from being their final resting place, plots, headstones, surrounds etc cost a bloody fortune. If this shit continues, they may exhume and cremate him so no decent person has to worry if their loved ones grave will still be there next Sunday, or worry that they themselves are at risk by going to visit.
I think it was four girls in sunglasses, green shirts and big knockers who planted this bomb!!!!!
It was balgriffin
Hope the dizzy clowns were ear protection
Al wanted to go out with a bang
No he’s in Fingal. As you’re heading to Malahide, Fingal is on the right and Balgriffin on the left. The two often get confused.
Alan ryan is buried in balgriffin???
Read the article again folks it was NOT found near his grave!
Seems the article was updated overnight, there was no mention of him initially.
have your say
