Gardai in Limerick are investigating two hoax bomb scares in the city overnight.
The first suspect device was reported to the gardai at 10pm last night.
The army bomb disposal team were called from Cork to investigate the package but it was found to be an elaborate hoax.
The second hoax was reported to be in a hotel in the city centre just after midnight.
Gardai searched the hotel but did not find anything suspicious.
The calls come after a week that saw the army bomb disposal unit called to Limerick twice, last Sunday and on Friday.
