A 35-year-old man appeared before a special court sitting in Limerick at the weekend connected to a massive drugs and firearms seizure in the city last week.
Aidan Radmall, Clonile, Old Cratloe Road, Limerick, is facing 11 separate charges arising from last Thursday's seizures.
Five of the charges are drugs related and six relate to possession of ammunition and firearms.
He is charged with five offences under the Drugs Act including two counts of possession of diamorphine, otherwise known as heroin, and two counts of possession of amphetamine with intent for sale or supply at Cecil Street, Limerick, on June 29th last.
The fifth charge, under Section 15a of the Drugs Act, relates to possession of drugs exceeding €15,000 in value.
Mr Radmall is also charged with four separate firearms offences which include possession of a Glock pistol, a Scorpion machine pistol, a sub-machine gun and a stun gun for an unlawful purpose at Cecil Street in Limerick, on June 29th last. He was further charged with two counts of possession of ammunition on the same date.
Garda Ciara Dee told the special sitting of Limerick District Court on Saturday evening that Mr Radmall - who remained silent throughout the brief court hearing - made no reply to any of the charges.
Judge Tom O'Donnell remanded him in custody until July 6th next and he noted that there was no application made for bail.
Meanwhile, a second man arrested in Limerick last Friday morning, after follow-up searches in the St Mary's Park area of the city, also appeared before Saturday evening's special court sitting.
Philip Collopy (26), St Munchin's Street, St Mary's Park, is charged with two counts of wilfully obstructing a garda in the execution of a search warrant on June 30th last, at St Ita's Street, St Mary's Park, Limerick.
There was no Garda objection to bail.
Judge O'Donnell remanded Mr Collopy on bail provided that he reside at St Munchin's Street, St Mary's Park, Limerick, and observe a curfew between 11pm and 8am.
Mr Collopy is due to appear before Limerick District Court again on July 27th next.
