The discovery of a viable pipe bomb on a footpath near a children's health facility in Dublin is linked to a simmering Traveller feud in the area, the Herald can reveal. Officers immediately sealed off the scene, which led to road closures in the area that is close to the Children's Health Ireland facility. "This is a very serious case, in terms of a viable bomb being found on a Dublin street in broad daylight," a source told the Herald last night. The incident caused late-morning rush hour chaos in the area while the defence forces dealt with the pipe bomb. An examination of the pipe bomb at Cathal Brugha barracks in Rathmines by Army specialists determined that the device was viable.
