Bomb squad at Social Democrats office after suspect package sent to Eoin Hayes

The Social Democrats offices in Dublin have been evacuated after a "suspect package" arrived.

It was addressed to recently suspended TD Eoin Hayes.

The Army Bomb Disposal Unit is on the scene and the street has been cordoned off.

The party said gardaí were called on Friday morning, and officers took the decision to evacuate.

Neighbouring buildings on Frederick Street South, off Dawson Street in Dublin city centre, have also been cleared.
