Two people have been arrested after the army bomb squad attended the scene of a car stopped by Gardaí in Monaghan. Members of the Garda Special Detective Unit stopped this car at around 3 o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, as part of an operation targeting Dissident Republican activity. The driver of the car, a woman aged in her 20s, was arrested and is being held in custody. Gardaí have since arrested a man in his 40s in connection with the investigation - he's being held at a Garda station in Dublin. Garda Commissioner Justin Kelly, says the bomb had the potential to cause catastrophic damage.
