Legal argument in IRA trial
Summary
In a Special Criminal Court hearing on 2 November 2016, a Dublin man, Ryan Glennon, aged 25, pleaded not guilty to membership of the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The prosecution alleged that a large quantity of explosives was discovered at a property in Courttown, County Wexford, and that evidence linked Glennon to that site. Legal arguments were presented by Hugh Hartnett SC on behalf of Glennon and Tara Burns SC for the State, focusing on the legality of Glennon's arrest. The trial is proceeding before Judge Robert Eagar, with Judges Sinead Ni Chulachain and James Faughnan presiding.
