Irish police seize explosive device near venue of leaders’ dinner

The timing and placement are the story here: a device near a site associated with a multinational leaders' gathering, dealt with only after the event, points to a security gap around high-profile diplomatic venues rather than a random incident. The crude construction matters less than the apparent intent to target a symbolic location. Whether this was an isolated act or part of a wider pattern is the open question, and the investigation's direction will shape how authorities reassess protection for similar events.
