A man has been charged in connection with a suspected gun seizure in Co. Limerick on Thursday.

Shortly before midnight that day, a Garda patrol tried to stop a car in the Ballynanty area of Limerick and after a high-speed chase through a number of housing estates it was stopped with the help of the Armed Support Unit.
