A Dublin Garda station has re-opened after being closed to the public today, to allow examination of a number of suspect devices.

The Irish Defence Forces were alerted this morning, when a member of the public entered Ballyfermot Garda station with devices found at a nearby location

An army bomb-disposal team responded to the scene and the station was closed as a precaution.

The devices have now been removed for destruction and technical examination.

The area has been declared safe, and the Garda Station is back in operation on Monday night.
