Three Irish men appeared in a Dublin court on Friday, charged in connection with a seizure of firearms and ammunition at a suburb warehouse earlier this week.

The three Irish men, in their 40s and 50s, are facing charges of possessing firearms and ammunition.

They were arrested on Tuesday following a police operation targeting organized crime groups in the Dublin Region.

Police recovered 15 firearms, including a number of revolvers and semi-automatic weapons. One sub-machine gun and one assault rifle were also seized.

Some 1300 rounds of assorted ammunition, a substantial amount of cash and documents related to bank accounts, were also discovered during the search. Endit
