Bomb threats force the offices of several media outlets in Ireland to be evacuated

The bomb threats that have already affected dozens of flights this week, altering the operation of the air system in Europe, have already affected several media outlets in Ireland. The public broadcaster RTE, based in Dublin, was evacuated this Friday morning after receiving an email alerting of the presence of an explosive device in its facilities.

After the notice, workers left the office to ensure their safety and live broadcasts were replaced by pre-recorded programs. As reported by the aforementioned media, "staff were evacuated from the buildings on the Donnybrook campus and police attended the scene, which has already been declared safe."

This has not been the only chain affected. The offices of Mediahaus and Independent News Media have also been evacuated. A spokesperson for Mediahaus Ireland stated that their company, "like other media outlets, received threatening correspondence this morning."

The spokesperson for the Irish Police, An Garda Síochána, has reported that her department is aware of a threat against media outlets in both Ireland and Europe and that the situation is being investigated.
