Gardai say nothing suspicious has been uncovered at the Department of Health.
They were called to the scene following an alert about a suspicious package at the building on Lower Baggot Street in Dublin shortly after 1pm this afternoon.
Staff were evacuated and the Army Bomb Disposal Unit, along with firefighters from Donnybrook and Tara Street fire stations attended the scene.
Garda say they are in the process of re-opening the building, and enquiries into the source of the package are continuing.
We're continuing to investigate and are working with our colleagues in @defenceforces @GardaTraffic to make the scene safe pic.twitter.com/t4O9bZbmf7
