Gardai probe Real IRA link with arms seized in city
Saturday November 18 2006
GARDAI are trying to determine if a significant haul of weapons and ammunition, seized in a west Dublin house, was destined for a crime gang or subversives, writes Tom Brady.
The prime suspect is closely associated with a leading Real IRA figure in the area.
The haul consisted of two sawn-off shotguns, ammunition, parts of an automatic pistol and an air pistol. It was seized as gardai searched a house at Oranmore Road, Ballyfermot on Thursday night while investigating criminal activities.
A 38-year-old local man was being questioned last night at Ballyfermot garda station.
