Two men have appeared in Dublin's Special Criminal Court, charged with membership of the IRA.
Declan Geraghty, 27, with an address in Crumlin, and 30-year-old Stephen O'Shaughnessy from Tallaght were arrested on Saturday afternoon as part of a Gardaí operation.
A third man, 33-year-old Stephen McGowan from Clondalkin, was charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and ammunition. All three men are remanded in custody.
A total of four arrests were originally made in Dublin after the discovery of a loaded firearm during an operation in the capital on Saturday.
Gardai said they had arrested four people and seized a loaded firearm during an operation on Saturday afternoon. One of the men has since been released without charge.
A Gardaí spokesman said the arrests were made after a planned operation by officers from the Special Detective Unit, based at Harcourt Court Square, who are investigating the activities of criminals in the West Dublin area.
A loaded Ingrams machine pistol was recovered during the search on the property.
Among the four people arrested were two men in their 30s and one in his 20s. A woman also in her 30s was held.
They were detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against The State Act 1939, at Clondalkin, Shankill and Blackrock Garda stations.
