Residents from Whitehall in Dublin were evacuated from their homes last night, after a suspicious device was found under a car. Gardaí and the Explosive Ordnance Disposal team were called to the scene on Yellow Road shortly after 10pm and a controlled explosion was carried out. Dublin City Councillor Paul McAuliffe said Gardaí will continue their investigation today. Mr McAuliffe said: "We understand it was left outside a person's home and that it was a viable device because a controlled explosion took place. "The Gardaí are going to consult with residents today and tomorrow to reassure them and to inform them of what happened."
