Liam Campbell appears before High Court on alleged terrorism and weapons trafficking warrant

Summary

Liam Campbell, aged 54, was arrested in Upper Faughart, Dundalk, on a European Arrest Warrant issued by Lithuanian authorities for alleged terrorism and weapons trafficking. The warrant, endorsed by the High Court, accuses him of organising smuggling operations to supply the RIRA between late 2006 and early 2007, including arranging illegal possession of firearms, ammunition, explosives and related substances. Detective Sergeant Jim Kirwan presented the warrant and a photograph to Campbell, who confirmed the identity. Campbell was taken to Dundalk Garda station and processed as an arrested person. Counsel for the State, Ronan Kennedy BL, raised an objection to bail. Justice Aileen Donnelly confirmed the identity of the accused, remanded him in custody until Thursday, 8 December, when a bail application is expected, and informed him of his rights to surrender and legal advice. Brian Gageby BL represented Campbell in court.
