The Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) Unit was summoned to the Whitehall area of Dublin on Tuesday evening following reports of a suspicious device in the area. 

Five Garda vehicles and a number of armed soldiers were spotted near Santry Park and a cordon was established at Schoolhouse Lane. 

The device was found to be nonviable after an examination by experts and the Garda cordon was lifted. 

Enquiries remain ongoing.
