A man has been charged following an incident near Clontibret. On Thursday the 29th of February, An Garda Síochána resolved an incident at a residence in a rural area outside Clontibret in Co Monaghan. Out of concern for the safety of a male, aged in his 30s, Gardaí were requested to attend the premises.
An Garda Síochána initiated its Operational Command protocol. An on-scene commander was also appointed and local Garda negotiators attached to the National Negotiators Unit attended the scene with assistance from a number of other Garda Units.
In a statement issued to Northern Sound, Gardaí confirmed that an adult male who was previously arrested in relation to this incident has since been charged. As this matter is now before the courts, An Garda Síochána will not be providing further comment at this time.
