The army bomb squad has made safe a device which was found in Dublin this afternoon.

It was found in overgrowth outside a private house in the St Dominic's area of Tallaght.

A cordon and road closures were put in place.

The device, which was later confirmed as viable, was taken to a safe military location and will be handed over to Gardai.

This was the 75th call out for the Army Bomb Disposal Team so far this year, dealing with 19 viable devices.
