Naas town centre
A part of the main street in a County Kildare town centre has been closed off this morning.
Garda "crime scene" tape has been used to cordon off a section of pavement in North Main Street, Naas, and there is a garda presence at the scene.
Pedestrians using the pavement outside the Four Star Pizza outlet and the Browne's of Naas clothing store are effectively being diverted from that section of the footpath to preserve the scene.
There is some local speculation that the activity may be associated with a public order related incident overnight.
Forensic experts wearing specialised protective clothing were working at the scene in the afternoon.
The gardaí have been contacted for comment.
