The supervisor alerted Gardaí and the defence forces after the explosive device – which dates back to the Civil war was discovered among recyclable metal at the site on the Gort Road yesterday morning.
A team from the Army Bomb Disposal Unit then carried out a controlled explosion on the grenade as it was considered to be live.
Ennis Green Party Councillor Brian Meaney says staff at the centre averted what could have been a tragedy
