A conference centre at the Citywest Hotel was evacuated earlier this afternoon.

The main auditorium in the Citywest hotel in Dublin where the Fine Gael Ard Fheis was due to take place this evening had to be evacuated earlier today because of a security alert. Taoiseach Enda Kenny had been due to address his party colleagues at 7.30pm this evening, but reports suggest that the conference centre had to be evacuated after what appeared to be an empty bullet cartridge was found on the stage from where he was due to make the address. https://twitter.com/MaryERegan/status/690595320846245888 https://twitter.com/MaryERegan/status/690601025699463168 According to UTV, it has not been confirmed whether or not it is an imitation bullet.
