Bomb-making equipment was also located during the planned searches on premises in the capital over the weekend, leading to a controlled explosion being carried out.
Gardaí said officials from the Special Detective Unit alongside members of the Emergency Response Unit carried out a number of strategic searches against dissident republicans in Dublin on Saturday and yesterday.
