The seizure was made as part of ongoing policing operations targeting criminality in the Finglas area led by the K-Community Action Team. 

The firearms were recovered when gardaí seized and searched two parked cars in Finglas. 

A single barrel sawn-off shotgun and a .22 pistol with four rounds of ammunition were found in one of the cars. 

The firearms have been removed from the scene for ballistic and forensic examination.

No arrests were made during this phase of the investigation. 

Enquiries are ongoing.

    The guns look fairly ancient. Are the gardaí now looking for a lad called Jack Sparrow?

    Shotgun looks like a Remington or Beretta automatic – not very ancient.

    @John Considine: Semi-automatic. Let’s get it right if we want to be clever.

    What’s the thing in the picture between the guns? The soiled underwear of a hardened Jackeen criminal?

    @FastBuck: Ammunition wrapped up in a package. Looks like it was dug up.
