An armed stand-off in Tallaght that's been going on since the early hours of this morning has ended.
A man in his forties is believed to have barricaded himself into a house at Deerpark Manor with a firearm, and a number of shots were fired.
Nearby residents were evacuated, and several cordons were put in place, as special negotiators were called in to deal with the incident.
Gardai have confirmed that the man has now left the house, and has been taken to Tallaght Garda Station.
