After RTÉ was evacuated this morning, a number of other media outlets were also sent bomb threats.
RTÉ, Bauer Media, Virgin Media and Mediahuis (who own newspapers such as The Irish Independent) were all evacuated on Friday morning after threats were received.
Multiple media organisations in Ireland and the UK were also sent identical threats this morning and those threats are being monitored.
While reports are indicating that RTÉ staff are still outside the campus, Bauer Media has returned to the building and resumed operations.
Speaking on the evacuation when she returned to air, Claire Byrne shared: "And we're back. Just like many other media organisations in Ireland today, we were advised to leave the building today on foot of a message that we received.

"We've been in touch with the gardai, everybody left, and we've been advised that we could return to the building and that that warning was a hoax."
She also apologised for the disruption to the broadcast and continued with her next interview.
These threats come just a day after an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Rome was diverted to France after a bomb threat was made.
21 flights were impacted in total yesterday, with seven other flights receiving threats earlier in the week.
While the threats to the Irish media outlets appear to be sent via email, the airline threats have reportedly been made via email and by telephone.
An Garda Síochána released a statement that reads: "An Garda Síochána is aware of a threat made against media organisations here and in Europe.
"An Garda Síochána has been liaising with the Irish media organisations and the threats will be investigated."
