BREAKING: Hand grenade found in west Tipperary. Road closed awaiting Bomb Disposal Unit

The scene at the Sologhead monument this morning.

A road near Sologhead Cross in west Tipperary is currently closed and the area a hive activitity following the location of a hand grenade during roadworks this morning. 


The grenade, perhaps from the War of Independence period, was found near the Sologhead monument while the County Council were doing repairs work on the road.
