A man in his 50s has been arrested in Cork as a result of a Garda investigation into an incident of coercive control.
The man has been arrested under Section 39(1) of the Domestic Violence Act, 2018.
The investigation arose from complaints made by a person known to the man regarding a number of incidents from 1985 until 2019.
As part of the investigation, a search was carried out by Gardaí attached to Macroom Garda Station, the Macroom Detective Unit, Bandon Division Protective Services Unit and the Armed Support Unit at a domestic residence in Kilbrittain on Friday morning.
During the course of the search, Gardaí seized a number of legally held firearms and ammunition.
The man was arrested at the scene of the search operation and taken to Bandon Garda Station where he was detained under Section 4 of the Criminal Justice Act, 1984.
He has since been charged and is due to appear before a special sitting of Bandon District Court on Saturday, 20 June at 3pm.
