Police, assisted by the Army, are searching a house in south Armagh in connection with the discovery of improvised explosive devices in the Republic of Ireland.

The search at a property on Tassagh Road, Keady, is linked to an ongoing investigation by gardaí (Irish police).

On Sunday, gardaí arrested a man in his 40s in County Monaghan.

They said it followed the discovery of devices in the north-east and south-west of the Republic of Ireland.

The man was detained under the Offences Against the State Act and is in Garda custody.
