Gardai in Waterford have cordoned off an area in Lisduggan after a suspicious object was found.
Emergency services were alerted to the device in Central Avenue, shortly before 2.00pm this afternoon.
The services of the army have been requested.
A local man told WLR News that "a device was found down the back, outside someone's house."
He added that "they think it's a pipe bomb but we're not too sure".
"We're waiting for the bomb squad to arrive, they're on their way."
Another resident heard "a suspect package was found, maybe a pipe bomb."
She says it's worrying "the fact that that type of carry on is going on. You'd be worried about gangland-kind of situations".
"Hopefully it's bogus," she added.
