A man was arrested after producing what appeared to be a gun on a bus from Dublin Airport to Cork city in the early hours of Saturday morning.
The bus had left the airport shortly after 1am and was near the toll booth at Watergrasshill on the Dublin to Cork road when the man reportedly approached the driver and threatened him.
He produced what is now understood to be an imitation firearm, but passengers reportedly overpowered the man.
No injuries were reported.
Gardaí were contacted, and the man was arrested and taken to Fermoy Garda Station. He is due in court on Monday.
A Garda spokesperson told : Gardaí responded to reports of a male producing a firearm on a coach service travelling between Dublin Airport and Cork City on Saturday 14 November 2026 shortly after 3am.
“Gardaí attended the scene, the bus stopped and gardaí arrested a male (aged in his 30s) who was detained under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939 at a Garda Station in Co Cork.
“No injuries were reported. The male has since been charged and a court appearance is being arranged.”
