Following a Garda request, the team arrived at 4.30pm and removed the chemical from the school laboratory to a nearby greenfield location, where it was made safe through the use of a controlled explosion.
The school was empty at the time as classes had finished for the day.
The scene was declared safe at 5.10pm and the team returned to base.
