The Army Bomb Disposal team responded to two call outs in the South West today.
At midday members of the bomb squad were sent to a school in Ennis in Co. Clare following a request from the Gardaí.
The team moved a chemical, commonly known as 'Brady's Re-Agent', to a nearby field where it was made safe through the use of a controlled explosion.
Then at around 6pm the team were sent to the Roxboro area of Limerick City where two historical munitions were found by workers on a building site.
Upon examination the items were found to be artillery ammunition from the 19th century.
