Four detained after Gardaí uncover live pipe bombs in Tallaght apartment

A coordinated Gardaí operation in Tallaght, Dublin 24, led to the discovery of two live pipe bombs inside an apartment block. The search, part of an ongoing investigation by the DMR South Serious Crime Unit together with the Drugs and Community Policing Units, prompted an immediate evacuation of the complex and the establishment of a police cordon. A Defence Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal team safely secured and removed the devices for further analysis.

Police arrested four individuals—a man in his 20s, a woman in her 30s, and two women in their 40s—who are being held under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939. The suspects are currently detained at a Garda station in the Dublin area as the inquiry proceeds.
