A man has been charged after the discovery of a suspect device led to the evacuation of Tallaght garda station on Friday evening.
Earlier that evening, officers on active patrol in the Tallaght area arrested a male. On arrival back at Tallaght garda station an initial inspection of a bag in possession of the male "indicated contents of concern".
The garda station was evacuated at around 7pm as a precaution and the Irish Defence Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal was requested. It reopened at around 9pm on Friday evening and the bag and contents were removed to face further technical and forensic examination.
