Dublin City Councillor Paul McAuliffe says Gardai will continue their investigation today:
"We understand it was left outside a persons home it was a viable device because a controlled explosion took place."
"Gardaí are going to consult with residents today and tomorrow to reassure them and to inform them what happened."
