A Cork man charged with IRA
membership and firearms offences has had his bail conditions varied so he can
attend the All-Ireland hurling final.
Anthony Carroll (30),
Bishopstown, and another man were arrested in February in Togher by local
detectives as part of an investigation into the activities of dissident
republicans.
They were charged before the
Special Criminal Court with IRA membership and with the unlawful possession of
a semi-automatic pistol, a revolver and ammunition.
The court fixed bail of an
independent surety of €20,000 each and their own bond of €100.
Other conditions included
signing on daily at a Garda station, surrendering their passports, obeying a
curfew and not associating with anyone charged or convicted at the Special
Criminal Court.
Mr Carroll returned to court
yesterday to apply to vary his bail conditions. Niamh Ó Donnabháin said he
wished to go to the All-Ireland hurling final in Dublin on Sunday and was
requesting that his curfew be lifted on Saturday and Sunday nights. The State
consented and the variation was allowed.
