Garda backup requested after man ‘barricaded himself’ into Delgany property
Gardaí have arrested a man and taken away two firearms for examination after a daylong stand-off in Co Wicklow following efforts to take possession of a large house and lands.
A large team of gardaí, including armed officers, made their way to the property and a stand-off continued through the day before being brought to an end, with no injuries reported, at about 3pm.Loneliness: ‘I usually say I’m fine, but the reality is, most days, I’m at home by myself with my memories’While media outlets were aware of the incident through the day, Garda Headquarters requested a media blackout until the tense situation could be resolved.
“The incident was peacefully resolved shortly before 3pm following negotiations. No injuries were reported,” the Garda added. The outcome of the court action was that enforced possession was ordered in respect of a number of properties, in Co Wicklow and south Dublin, as part repayment of an outstanding loan with a lending bank.
