Under the Firearms Act 1925, as amended by the Criminal Justice Act 2006, stun guns are prohibited weapons except under licence.

Revenue say this seizure was part of ongoing intelligence-led joint operations by its Customs Service, the Garda National Drugs & Organised Crime Bureau, and the Special Crime Task Force, targeting the illegal importation of firearms.

A 20-year-old Irish man was arrested by gardaí and is being held at Clondalkin garda station under Section 30 of the Criminal Justice Act.
