Intel employees at the firm’s Leixlip plant in Ireland were evacuated this morning following a security alert.
Police attended the campus at 6.30am and workers were told to leave the site. Some employees took to Twitter to detail the incident, posting photos of evacuated workers in the nearby McDonald’s restaurant.
Workers were able to return to the plant just after 9am following a police assessment. It is not yet known if a suspect package, a phone tip off, or both caused the incident.
Intel Ireland said on Twitter: “Security alert at our Leixlip campus is now over and employees returning to work – thanks everyone for your patience.”
