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

    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?

    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

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

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

    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!

    Perhaps he is talking about the news on the radio, not the terrible excuse for a website news section.
