Bail refused for man arrested in relation to firearms haul
Summary
James Walsh, 33, of Neilstown Drive, Clondalkin, was arrested on 24 January for unlawful possession of five revolvers, 20 rounds of ammunition and a silencer at a unit in Greenogue Business Park, Rathcoole. He faces three charges under the Firearms Act. The State objected to bail, and Detective Sergeant Michael Cuffe argued that Walsh would be a flight risk and might not attend trial. Detective Chief Superintendent James McGowan also testified that bail should be refused to prevent a serious offence. Justice Tony Hunt rejected the bail application.
