GARDAÍ say a peaceful conclusion was brought to an incident in Letterkenny last night.

Yesterday afternoon gardaí were requested to assist a state agency in the execution of a Court Order at a residence in the Letterkenny area.

A male had barricaded himself in a room within the dwelling.

An Garda Síochána initiated its Operational Command protocol. An On-Scene Commander was appointed and local Garda negotiators attached to the National Negotiators Unit attended the scene with assistance from a number of other Garda Units.

Shortly before 7pm last night, as a result of negotiations, the incident was brought to a peaceful resolution.
