TWO MEN have been arrested as part of an ongoing Garda investigation into dissident republican activity in the West, after bomb-making equipment was recovered from a house in Co Mayo over the weekend.
The explosive substances and bomb-making equipment were found at a house in Clogher, Claremorris, Co Mayo on Saturday evening.
An Army explosives ordnance disposal team was dispatched to the scene, which was sealed off for some time to facilitate forensic and technical examinations.
