A homemade bomb was found outside a house in Tallaght this evening

The device was found in the Glenshane of Jobstown.

ARMY EXPERTS HAVE successfully dealt with a homemade bomb that was found outside a house in Tallaght in Dublin this evening.

The Army Bomb Disposal Team were called to the house in Jobstown at about 5.50 pm after being informed by gardaí that a member of the public had found the device.

A cordon and road closures were put in place in the Glenshane area where the device was found and a number of houses were evacuated.

The team assessed the viable device and it was made safe without the need for a controlled explosion.

The device was then brought to a secure military location where it is to be examined until it is handed over to gardaí.

    Brilliant. All the Dubs can head to the beaches where they are not allowed swim. We can play spot the floating turd with the kids instead.
