Viable device found near rail line in Dublin
Updated: 20:11, Monday, 18 April 2011
The Defence Forces has confirmed that the suspicious package found beside the railway line in Dún Laoghaire this morning was a viable device.
However, it said it was not part of any attack and had been stored near a pedestrian bridge for later use.
The device, which is believed to have been a pipe bomb, was removed from the scene by an army bomb disposal unit.
It is believed that the device was made by criminals rather than subversives. It had been wrapped in a duffle bag.
The alert disrupted rail services between Dún Laoghaire and Dublin city centre for several hours.
A number of roads were also closed but have since re-opened.

Dart resumes after security alert
Dart services have returned to normal after a security alert forced the closure of the line between Lansdowne Road and Dalkey in south Dublin earlier today.
A suspect device, believed to be a pipe bomb, was found on a pedestrian bridge over the Dart line on the old Dún Laoghaire Road before mid-day. GardaÃ* were called and an Army bomb disposal team called in.
The team arrived at the scene at 1.25pm and declared it safe at 2.50pm. The Dart line was re-opened shortly afterwards.
The Army described the device as viable and have classed it as what they term a "find" meaning it was probably being stored on the bridge for use elsewhere. It has now been handed over to GardaÃ* for their investigations.
