  On 20 May 2020, gardaí stopped a car at Ballinlaw, Slieverue, Co Kilkenny as part of an organised crime investigation, and a semi-automatic pistol and 47 rounds of ammunition were recovered after a small black object was thrown from the rear seat. Chris Kelly, 32, and Kealan Madden, 34, both from Waterford, pleaded guilty to possession of a firearm.

The Court of Appeal quashed Kelly's sentence in February 2023 and re-sentenced him to five years with one year suspended.
