Authorities in the Costa Del Sol wish to quiz them over the killing of gun-for-hire Paddy Doyle in 2008 in the Costa Del Sol and their involvement with Christy Kinahan's drugs empire.
Gardai have not yet established how long the Ingram machine guns had been in the country.
They are likely to have been supplied to the gang as “sweeteners” with drug shipments.
The weapons cache contained four Ingram 9mm rapidfiring machine guns, four silencers, four loaded magazines each, 16 rounds of 9mm parabellum bullets and another bag of loose ammunition.
Detectives found the guns when they swooped on a lockup at Damastown industrial estate in Mulhuddart in west Dublin."
