Clondalkin Garda station evacuated after suspect device brought in

On Sunday, 16 February 2025, Clondalkin Garda Station in Dublin was evacuated after a member of the public brought a suspect device, found at a nearby location, into the station's public office. As a precaution, the station was closed and a cordon put in place while the Irish Defence Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal team was dispatched to the scene. The EOD team deemed the device non-viable and made it safe, and the station has since fully reopened. The device is to be sent for technical examination.
