Minister of Foreign Affairs Simon Coveney was taken to a "secure location" after he was evacuated due to a "security threat" in Belfast.
Minister Coveney was due to deliver an address at the Houben Centre in north Belfast at the ‘Time to Build the Common Ground’ event by the John and Pat Hume Foundation today.
It is understood that a "hijacked van" was driven to the site when the alert was raised, Belfast Live reports.
