Rathmines Road in Dublin has reopened to traffic after an incident in which a man barricaded himself inside a property.

Gardaí cordoned off the road near Observatory Lane during the incident earlier this morning.

Garda negotiators were called in along with several other Garda units.

The incident was resolved shortly after midday following negotiations.

A man in his 30s was arrested at the scene as part of ongoing investigations into alleged offences contrary to the Non-Fatal Offences against the Person Act.

He is currently being held at a Garda station in Dublin.

The road has now reopened to traffic.

The Garda investigation is ongoing.
