Two men have been arrested after a sawn-off shotgun was seized in Dublin.
The gun, which was loaded, was seized when a vehicle was stopped on in Lucan last night.
Gardai intercepted the vehicle on the Ballyowen Road at around 7:30pm.
Two men, aged 41 and 22, were arrested at the scene.
They are now being held for questioning at Ronanstown Garda Station.
The recovery was made as part of an intelligence led investigation targeting organised crime in Dublin.
Assistant Commissioner John O’Driscoll says this was another successful operation "which has potential to prevent threat to life or serious injury, arising from the seizure of a loaded firearm”.
