A hoax bomb planted outside the Four Courts in Dublin caused major traffic disruption in the city this morning.

The package was found by staff arriving for work at around 8am.

The Four Courts were subsequently evacuated and a section of the quays was closed off, causing traffic disruption in the area, as well as tailbacks in other parts of the city.

Bomb disposal experts carried out a controlled explosion on the device before declaring it an elaborate hoax.
