Two men are due to appear in court tonight in connection with dissident republican activity in Co Kildare.
The men, aged 39 and 45, were arrested following the discovery of items associated with the manufacture of pipe bombs at a house in Newbridge on Wednesday.
The men were detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act at Naas and Newbridge Garda stations.
They are scheduled to appear at the Special Criminal Court at Parkgate Street this evening.
