A controlled explosion has been carried out in Kilkenny.
It comes after a man in his late 50s has been arrested in connection with an ongoing incident at 'Butterslip', between High Street and Kieran Street.
It's believed a suspect device is at the scene and the army bomb disposal unit is on the way.
High Street has now been reopened.
