Irish Foreign Affairs Minister, Simon Coveney, has been taken to a "secure location" after The Houben Centre on Crumlin Road was evacuated this morning following a security alert.
Mr Coveney was speaking at The Houben Centre to address the Building Common Ground event by the John and Pat Hume Foundation, when it's understood a "hijacked van" was driven to the site.
It's understood a van was hijacked on the Shankill, a canister placed on board and the driver forced to drive it to Holy Cross Church, North Belfast.
