A bomb has been made safe following a security alert in the Republic of Ireland.
The viable device was discovered on a bus outside the Glen Royal Hotel in Maynooth, County Kildare.
The device was found at 2130 BST. All on board were taken off the bus and transported to Dublin in another bus.
The device was later made safe by an Irish army bomb disposal team. In a separate incident there is a security alert in Dublin on Tuesday.
A suspect package is being examined near the Luas line (light rail system) at Davitt Road in Inchicore.
The alerts came on the eve of the Queen's historic trip to the Irish Republic.
A massive security operation is in place in Dublin and a bomb threat from Irish dissidents was received in London on Monday.
Irish police said up to 4,000 people are involved in the ongoing security operation for the four-day trip.
The Foreign Office said on Tuesday the Queen's visit would go ahead despite the discovery of the bomb in Maynooth.
