A garda has been charged and will appear before the courts today as part of an investigation into corruption within the force.
The man will appear before the Criminal Courts of Justice on Monday morning.
A garda spokesperson said the Garda Anti-Corruption Unit has been carrying out an investigation into the activities of a particular Garda unit based in the Dublin Region.
Since the start of this investigation four members of An Garda Síochána have been suspended from duty.
The garda is the fourth man to be charged as part of an investigation into the activities of a Dublin-based unit - two other gardaí and a peace commissioner have already appeared before the courts.
"As this is an ongoing criminal investigation An Garda Síochána is making no further comment,” said gardaí.
