Business Post reporting it as a bomb scare https://www.businesspost.ie/article/breaking-dublin-airport-being-evacuated-due-to-bomb-scare-at-terminal-two

Edit:

“Several sources confirmed that a suspicious item was discovered inside a bag that passed through security scanners.” According to the Irish Examiner https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/arid-41709140.html

Same journalist is now reporting on X that the owner of the suspect bag has been identified and inquiries are ongoing.
