Staff at RTE campus evacuated after bomb threat

Staff at Ireland's national broadcaster, RTÉ, have been evacuated from their Dublin headquarters following a bomb threat. The television and radio company's Montrose campus was evacuated on Friday morning after an email was sent warning of the threat. RTÉ Radio One has been taken off the air and has replaced its morning show, Today With David McCullagh, with a pre-recorded music program.

Staff, including radio and television presenters, were instructed to leave the studio buildings. An audio message apologized for the interruption to the usual schedule and stated that efforts were being made to restore normal operations. Irish police and the armed response unit are present at the site, and other media organizations in Dublin may have also received threat alerts.

This incident follows a series of bomb threats to airlines, including an Aer Lingus flight from Dublin, over the past few days. A Gardaí spokesperson confirmed that they are aware of the threat against media organizations in Ireland and Europe and are investigating the matter.
