A FIREARM AND six pocket knives were taken from a man who was acting violently and was arrested in Dundalk on Monday night.
The incident happened when gardaí were responding to a public order call at Barrack Street in the town at about 7pm.
Upon arriving at the scene, gardaí say the 33-year-old man became violently aggressive and was arrested.
A search of the bag the man was carrying was found to contain a firearm. Six folding locking knives were also seized during the course of the incident.
The firearm was taken by gardaí for forensic analysis and the man is still being held at Dundalk Garda Station.
He is being held Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act normnally employed in cases of explosives, firearms or subversive offences.

Wait and see mammy didn’t breast feed and daddy was a drunk, suspended sentence with no community service because he is actively seeking employment, illegal firearm 20 years minimum , he’s not carrying a hand gun to go to mass

Well said a handgun is not a hunting weapon and if used for sport should only be brought out on direct way to ranges and secure keeping. 10 years for possession in public place and if not licensed further 10
Actually a handgun in the right calibre is one of the most challenging hunting firearms out there.But seeing as we dont have anything hunt able here in Ireland with one,bar maybe Scobes,TDs and banksters,you do have a point.
His defence will be that he’s a butcher. His sc^mb@g friendly solicitor will probably get him off.
This is where we need minimum sentencing ….
3 years minimum.
10 years not 3
Gardai should be fully armed dealing with a someone in society like this
You get a knife I’ll get a handgun. You get a handgun I’ll get an AK….
Never gonna happen, a flag drapped coffin is cheaper.
Ok, so we’ll just leave as it is; the criminals get the weapons and gardaí get injured or killed.
And if you dont know how to use your handgun.I’ll have cut your throat before you even point it vaugely in my direction,or you might doublee tap me and end the arguement. Up to each persons skill and do you want to run the risk.
IOW an armed society is a very polite society.
A different knife for
Monday,
Tuesday,
Wednesday,
Thursday,
Friday and
Saturday,
And a Gun for Sunday…
Lock him up for his own safety…

If it was America, he would have been given a curbside death penalty. Thanks to the G’s for their intercession.
Thanks be to god it’s not.
What was Rambo doing in Dundalk?
If you’re caught with a gun.. 10years, no parole! Make it so bad to carry one that no one will carry one!! End of story!!
Barrack St is not in the centre of Dundalk. It’s about 3km from town centre.
You’re certainly not from Dundalk if you think barrack st is 3k from the town centre
“The Perp was caught carrying a piece in the Metro Dundalk Area” would be more accurate would you say ?
Why so quick to rush to judgement ?
We don’t know anything about this case, 10 year 20 years execution really?
They think they’re a liberal bunch and they shout from the rafters about the injustice that the political elite cause, the same political elite that they are in denial about voting for. Yet they want a man executed without trial. Yep that’s Ireland.
Unless he was a copper or soldier on duty no excuse or defence.
