Gardaí discovered several suspect devices, a firearm, and a large quantity of ammunition during a planned search operation at a residence in Gorey yesterday.
The operation, which targeted criminal activity in the Wexford/Wicklow Division, led to a cordon around the area.
The Irish Defence Forces Explosive Ordnance Disposal team attended the scene and carried out a controlled explosion on the viable devices.
During the search, a suspect firearm and a substantial amount of ammunition were seized, while a quantity of suspected cocaine was also found and will be analyzed.
A woman in her 30s was arrested at the scene and is currently detained under the Offences Against the State Act with investigations ongoing.
