Tallaght Garda Station has reopened after being evacuated earlier in the evening, with gardai calling a bomb squad following an alarming discovery.
Earlier this evening, gardai discovered "contents of concern" in the bag of a man they arrested. Two hours after the evacuation, the Station has reopened and the bomb squad removed the bag and its contents. According to a Garda spokeswoman, the items will now be subject to further technical and forensic examination.
All road closures following the worrying discovery have now been lifted, she further announced. A man in his 30s has been arrested and detained at a South Dublin Garda Station. Investigations are ongoing.
