A man in his mid-thirties was being questioned last night following anti-dissident republican raids in Co Louth earlier this week.

The man was arrested yesterday afternoon and was being questioned at Dundalk Garda station.

Gardaí seized a large haul of arms including AK47 assault rifles, mortars, explosive material, detonators, other bomb components and at least one revolver during raids on a house and land at Jenkinstown, close to the border, on Monday.
