    Eyewitnesses say two of the specially equipped Regional Support Unit vehicles and another garda patrol car blocked in a vehicle just outside the old County Council offices on O'Connell Street around 12 o'clock.

    Armed members of the RSU then arrested an male occupant of the vehicle at gunpoint.

    He was thrown onto the road and handcuffed before being taken to Roxboro Garda Station.

    The 25 year old man from Cork and is being detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act.
