A loaded semi-automatic pistol and a small amount of cocaine were found in the house by the Garda National Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau.

The two men are being detained at Lucan Garda Station under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, 1939.

"An Garda Síochána is determined to disrupt and dismantle these groups and I commend all the officers involved in this operation.”
Investigations are ongoing, a spokesperson added.
