Gardaí have confirmed that two people have been arrested and charged in connection with an investigation into child sexual abuse.

It is understood a child (6) is now in the care of the State.

This follows an investigation into child pornography by Interpol, which led to an operation in Co Tipperary.

Gardaí say they are not making any further comment on the case.

However they say they are liasing closely with the child and family agency, TUSLA.
