    I have it from a source that it was a pipebomb placed under the track. It was "viable" (i.e. not a fake) and a telephone warning was made.

    Presume this will be confirmed in the news later.

    No idea who planted it.

    Have heard different things, also that it was an unexploded shell. Ze germans did drop a few bombs in the region during the war but a pipe bomb sounds more likely really.

    Dart services have returned to normal after a security alert forced the closure of the line between Lansdowne Road and Dalkey in south Dublin earlier today.

    A suspect device was found on or near the rail line at the old Dún Laoghaire Road before mid-day. Gardaí were called and an Army EOD team were called in.

    The line was re-opened at 3pm.
