ANNAGRY Garda Station has been sealed off today after a bomb alert.
The station – due to be closed by Justice Minister Alan Shatter – was evacuated for a time while Army explosives experts examined a suspicious object.
Gardai arriving for duty this morning discovered a suspicious object and left the station, believing it may be an explosive device.
A decision was taken to call in the military.
However it was later found not to be a bomb and a follow-up operation is underway.
A Garda spokesman said: “The object was removed and found not to be harmful.”
