A number of Garda vehicles were rammed when the driver tried to take evasive action. No persons were injured. A search of the vehicle was conducted and Gardaí recovered a semi-automatic Luger pistol, loaded with 10 rounds of ammunition. Both men (25 & 29 years) were arrested at the scene and taken to Henry Street Garda Station where they are currently detained pursuant to Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939/98 as amended.
