Summary
Three Dublin men—Jonathan Hawthorn, 44, of Ballintyre Downs; James Geraghty, 60, of Dolphin House; and Donal O'Ceallaigh, 32, of Beach Road—were released on bail by the Special Criminal Court after being charged on 14 September with membership of the Irish Republican Army. The State, represented by Solicitor Michael O'Donovan, consented to the bail applications. Conditions include surrendering passports, obeying a nightly curfew from 11 pm to 7 am, staying within the jurisdiction, avoiding travel to Northern Ireland, refraining from attending republican commemorations or gatherings, not associating with each other or with anyone charged or convicted of a scheduled offence, not contacting proposed prosecution witnesses, and providing a phone number to the Gardaí. Geraghty and Hawthorn must sign daily at Kevin St Garda Station; O'Ceallaigh at Ballyfermot Garda Station. All three were released on independent sureties (€15,000 for O'Ceallaigh and Hawthorn, €6,000 for Geraghty).
