Well this is awkward...
A suspicious package which caused a full Luas Line emergency has turned out to be nothing more than a sex toy.
Gardai were called to the scene yesterday after the alarm was raised about the mysterious object.
However, following closer examination at the scene, the security alert was ended after the packages true contents became clear.
The incident happened at the Dublin city Luas cross line running through Cabra.
Workers carrying out maintenance work on the line near Fassaugh Road reported finding a suspect package with a large amount of ball bearings wrapped in plastic.
Gardai responded and were directed to the scene by Luas workers.
The 'suspicious device' was briefly examined, before a decision was made to inform the Army bomb squad, officially known as the Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) unit.
A source told Independent.ie: "It’s always better to be safe than sorry, and thankfully on this occasion it wasn’t a viable device.
"It had plastic casing and was wrapped in insulating tape
"This, to say the least, is a new one to the gardai who were at the scene," they added.
It is not known if the property was discarded at the scene or handed into the lost and found of the nearest garda station.
