A GARDA NEGOTIATOR was called to Drogheda Courthouse this afternoon after a stand-off involving a number of prisoners.
Six prisoners barricaded themselves into the holding area in the courthouse just before 1pm today and refused to allow any access to the room.
A trained garda negotiator was brought to the scene.
The men, who were attending the court for separate hearings, did not make any demands or negotiation attempts during the stand-off.
The incident ended at 3.10pm after just over two hours when the men emerged voluntarily from the holding area.
There were no injuries reported in the incident.
A garda investigation will be carried out to establish if any damage was done to the property.
