Story summary

On November 6, 2026, RTÉ, Ireland's national broadcaster, evacuated its headquarters in Donnybrook, Dublin, following a bomb threat received via email. Staff from other media organizations including Newstalk and the Irish Independent were also evacuated after receiving similar threats. The evacuations occurred as part of a larger wave of hoax bomb threats targeting media outlets across Europe and disrupting nearly 30 passenger flights on November 5. Irish Prime Minister Micheál Martin stated that the situation is being taken seriously, noting that safety is the top priority for both Ireland and Europe. Police are investigating the threats in coordination with European authorities ahead of high-profile EU meetings scheduled to take place in Dublin next week.
