Dublin And Belfast Probing Separate Bomb Alerts
Traffic is being diverted away from the scene of a bomb alert at a shopping complex in south Belfast.
Army technical experts were called to the Boucher Road at about 11.15am on Friday.
It is understood that a suspect package was discovered at Boucher Plaza. A number of premises have been evacuated.
A controlled explosion has since been carried out and the area around the shopping complex has been closed to traffic. A police spokesman appealed to motorists to avoid the area.
Meanwhile, suspect devices are still being examined by an army bomb disposal team in Dublin.
They have been found in Fairview Park in north Dublin and the army bomb disposal team is on the scene and currently examining the devices, one of which is thought to be a pipe bomb. The two devices were reported at 8.30am.
Fairview Park is an open area of parkland, built on reclaimed land, which was reduced in size in recent years due to the development of the Dublin Port Tunnel, whose entrance is just beyond the old park perimeter.
