A viable explosive device was made safe by an Army Bomb Disposal team in Greystones overnight, the Defence Forces said in a statement today.

The team arrived on scene at an apartment complex in Kilcoole, Greystones at 2.30 am, in response to a request by gardaí.

"A viable Improvised Explosive Device (IED) was made safe at the scene and removed for further examination," the statement said.

It doesn't say anything about a bomb... they found a 'viable explosive device' which could mean anything, or any object that had the capacity to explode.

A home-made bomb which was discovered under a car at a block of flats in Kilcoole, in Co Wicklow, may have been attached to the car when it was driven for some miles, according to gardaí.
Army bomb disposal experts were called out to remove what they said was a viable explosive device, from the car at the rear of a block of flats at Willowbrook, Kilcoole, in the early hours of yesterday morning.
The Garda Press Office, which initially described the bomb as having been discovered at Church Road, in Greystones, later said it appeared the car may have been driven with the bomb attached, from there to Kilcoole, a distance of about three miles.

Yes it was under a guy's car, he arrived home and it fell from under the car, he didn't know what it was but knew it wasn't part of the car so he called the gardai.
