Staff at RTE campus evacuated after bomb threat
Staff at Ireland’s national broadcaster have been evacuated following a bomb threat at its television and radio headquarters in Dublin.
RTÉ Radio One is off air and it has replaced its programme Today With David McCullagh with a pre-recorded programme of music.
Staff at the Montrose campus were told to leave the studio buildings on Friday morning.
The show was to begin its usual slot time of 9am, however music has been playing on loop since then.
An audio message apologised for the “interruption to the usual schedule”, saying it was “trying to get things back on track”.
It is understood that other media organisations have been sent threats on Friday morning.
It comes after bomb threats were sent to airlines, including an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin, over recent days.
