A 46-year-old man has appeared before a special sitting of the district court in Limerick tonight charged with firearms offences.
Stephen Fitzgerald, of no fixed abode, but originally from Limerick city, was charged with the possession of a Glock semi-automatic pistol and nineteen rounds of ammunition for unlawful purposes at Canal Bank, Rhebogue, Limerick last night.
Judge Aeneas McCarthy assigned a solicitor to the accused, who was remanded in custody.
There was no application for bail.
He will appear again before the court on Wednesday next.
