THE ARMY BOMB disposal team have ruled out any threat after a a suspicious package was delivered to the offices of LGBT advocacy group GLEN this morning.

Emergency services were deployed to the scene on Upper Exchange Street in Dublin’s city centre with crew donning hazmat suits before entering the building.

It is understood the package was opened and blue powder was found inside, along with a one-word note which read ‘Goodbye’. It is thought the letter was personally delivered as there was no stamp.

The group indicated on Twitter that the substance was tested and is not toxic.

“The intent was to terrorise – no matter what was in the envelope,” Tiernan Brady of GLEN told TheJournal.ie.

“We’ve never had this before and the goal was to scare us and inflict terror.”
