Bomb Scare on N25

STIG83

Anyone hear bout the bomb scare out on old main N25 road to Kilmeaden? a device was found in a vehicle, The Defence Forces were called in, the area was made safe at 3.50am

Sully

Was wondering why the road was closed! Just heard about it on radio this morning.

mike65

Wonder how this device was discovered? Did the Gardai spot a dubiously parked/abandoned vehicle and take a look or was it phoned in?

STIG83

No idea how they found it, i was coming off the outer ring road onto the butlerstown roundabout, i saw a garda car drivind fast out onto the Whitfield road, this was bout half 8ish
Jus heard it was a pipe bomb and two men were arrested aswell

I got passed by a garda car on the cork road near the old waterford crystal around that time, wonder if that's where he was going?

Nothing to do with that,something to do with the two arrests made last week.

I heard the tinker feud is related to it.

Crazy,

One of the things I never thought I'd see around town is a bomb disposal team.

Its nothing to do with that feud, The Star's crime correspondent tweeted this last night,

Another significant seizure of an apparent explosive device by gardai probing RIRA. This time in Waterford. Busy week for SDU. #gardai

^ As i said it had to do with the two arrests last week in Waterford,and a few more around the country.

I always wondered if there was much of a following of CIRA or RIRA in Waterford. Ignorant fools!

So it is something to do with the first quote?

allthedoyles

intelligence led operation , and to do with the Barntown discovery is what we heard .

The device was apparently ready to go ( where to we don't know )

I'd understand "hello the war ( if there ever was one ) is over" to be referring to the IRA and Northern Ireland.

Chris P. Bacon

Well seen as this is Waterford,i was referring to the feud that's going on here,to some it could be construed as a "war".

Sinn Fein Waterford have suspened two members this week,one was arrested in connection with RIRA and both are under investagation by SF for unacceptable behaviour,hence the connection.

That does not say anything about Real IRA and that's probably why you didn't post the link too.

For shame!

In either case - he is incorrect.

Fair enough, it's pretty tricky posting links alright. Copy and paste can be a right bugger.

Did anyone on WlrFM mention Real IRA in relation to the arrests?

What's with the little silly remark at the end?

giles lynchwood

^.Anything is easy if you know how.
With the recent activity concerning SDU and RIRA,then SF suspend two members,one of whom was arrested,a person may well be forgiven for assuming the two incident's are connected.
Not a remark but a opinion.

True, it's easy when you take the time to find out how.

So you assumed Sinn Fein members were arrested on suspicion of being Real IRA but you never actually heard it from WLR FM, why did you say you did then. Looks fairly likely your assumptions are correct but innocent till proven guilty and all that and no point backing up an assumption with a lie.

Your remark about "Shame is for Catholics only" was very unnessecary.

So the two are connected.
If a person sin's they may feel shame,are catholic's not born with original sin until they are baptised.

No, they are not connected and you've already been corrected on this. 2 members were suspended - 1 of which was for allegations against them, of which were not related to the recent RIRA/Bombing stuff. The other - I'm not sure what for - but it also wasn't related to the RIRA stuff.

I don't know anymore than that.

ziedth

We're in danger of veering totally off topic lads try and reel it in please. Thanks!

nkay1985

It'll be interesting to see if an more details come out about the explosive device. If it is related to the Barntown incident and was ready to go, as someone has said, then it's a major development and confirmation that things could be about to turn very ugly again very soon.

Max Powers

lets face it lads, that bomb could be connected to
- traveller feud
- drugs
- dissident republican
- mightnt have anything to do with Waterford people at all

so its more than likely a blend of 2 of the above 3. eg travellers and drugs or dissidents and drugs.

Chris P. Bacon

So it was to do with the IRA

Two men arrested during Garda investigations into dissident republican activity were brought before a special sitting of the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today.

Sean Ryan (aged 28), of Mandeville Lane, Waterford and Samuel Devlin (aged 51), of Mountjoy Square, Dublin were each charged with membership of an unlawful organisation styling itself the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Oglaigh na hEireann, otherwise the IRA on October 15.

They were each also charged with the unlawful possession of an improvised explosive device at the TOP garage, Butler's Town Roundabout, Cork Road, Waterford on the same date.

Detective Garda David Gantley, Special Detective Unit, gave evidence of arresting Devlin in Waterford yesterday for the purpose of bringing him for charging at the Special Criminal Court.

He said that after he was given the legal caution, Devlin replied: "Definitely not guilty on both charges."

Detective Garda Frank Crowley, SDU, gave evidence of arresting Ryan in Waterford yesterday for the purpose of being charged.

He said that Ryan replied: "No comment", when he was cautioned.

The court remanded both men in custody until Wednesday when bail applications are expected to be made.

According to last weeks News & Star...

There were two Sinn Fein members arrested over serious allegations in relation to dissident activity in Waterford. There were also two members, according to David Cullinane, suspended over serious allegations against them as per party policy.

Article not online yet, but thats what I understood to be the article in the paper. I don't think it was in relation to this topic at hand which has happened after that report.

So are you saying there were four Sinn Féin members suspended in total?

They reported incorrectly. 2 members were suspended, but it wasn't for allegations in relation to dissident activity. I don't know exactly what it was for - But I do know it wasn't over dissident activity.

2 members were suspended. It wasn't however for dissident activity.

How can you say with such certainty that it wasn't when you also say you don't know what it was for?

I've been told for certain that has nothing to do with the recent dissident activity.

If the press are wrong, and they quoted David Cullinane I do believe as saying two members were suspended for serious allegations, then why have they not issued an apology?

I'm a bit confused. They were suspended because of serious allegations weren't they? So why would the press apologise when thatls the truth?
