A man has been arrested following the discovery of a number of bombs in the Republic of Ireland.
Irish police said the arrest came as part of the investigation into the discovery of a number of attempted improvised explosive devices (IEDs) in the north-east and south-west of the country.
The man, aged in his 40s was arrested during an operation in County Monaghan on Sunday evening.
An Garda Siochana said it was liaising with the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) in relation to the probe.
The man remained detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act at a Garda Station in the north-western region.
Detention under section 30 can initially last up to 24 hours excluding breaks and can be extended for a further two days under approval by a superintendent or the courts.
