A man in his 60s has been arrested as part of the investigation.

A retired Garda in his 60s has been arrested in an investigation by Gardaí from the Roscommon/Longford Division into a number of immigration irregularities at a Garda station.

The investigation, which commenced in 2017, when the man arrested was a serving member of An Garda Síochána, concerns irregularities at a Garda station in the then-Western Region.

The man, who has since retired, was arrested on Wednesday morning and is currently detained at a Garda Station in the midlands area under the provisions of Section 4 – Criminal Justice Act 1984.

Gardaí involved in this investigation were assisted by a team from the Garda National Immigration Bureau and officials from the Department of Justice.

Investigations are ongoing.
