Both underwent surgery yesterday to remove bullets from their feet.

Following extensive negotiations with Gardaí, Daniel Goulding was arrested and brought before Blanchardstown district court this morning charged with 5 firearms offences, including possession of two sub machine guns and a semi automatic pistol.

The advice of the DPP is being sought and further more serious charges may be brought.
