Hoax bomb threats at multiple Government departments

MULTIPLE bomb threats that were made against Government offices in Dublin this afternoon have been declared hoaxes.

The Departments of the Taoiseach, Enterprise and Justice as well as the Labour Court were evacuated on Friday following the threats, which claimed there was a bomb at each location.

In a statement, An Garda Síochána said that after further enquiries, they were "satisfied that all of the alerts have been deemed as hoax and the areas have been declared safe."

The Labour Court and Workplace Relations Commission was evacuated by staff at 1.45pm on Friday afternoon, with staff advising that a threat had been delivered by phone.

All cases listed for the afternoon have been abandoned.
