The bomb was discovered in a car on the M50 in Dublin on Thursday night. It is believed it was primed for use.
Detectives are working on the possibility that the find may be linked to a vigilante campaign by the Continuity IRA against drug dealers in the capital.
The Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell, has described the discovery of the bomb as 'despicable and sickening'.
