DUBLIN, May 17 (Reuters) - The Irish army were investigating a second suspicious device in Dublin on Tuesday after blowing up a homemade bomb in a controlled detonation ahead of the first state visit by Britain's Queen Elizabeth.

A police spokesman said police had received a call about a suspicious device found at a tram station in north Dublin at 0530 GMT and that the army's bomb disposal team was attending the scene.
