"Shopping list" of explosive ingredients found in home of IRA accused, trial hears

Summary

During a Special Criminal Court hearing on 28 March 2017, the prosecution presented evidence that a shopping‑list of chemicals used for explosives was found in the home of David Murray, 56, of Cappogue Cottages, Finglas, Dublin. Murray is pleading not guilty to membership of an unlawful organisation styled the Irish Republican Army (IRA). The prosecution, represented by Gareth Baker SC, said Chief Superintendent Michael O'Sullivan would testify that he believed Murray was an IRA member on the day in question, and that supporting evidence would include various documents and items seized from Murray's house. The list, which Baker said bore a striking similarity to a list found in the van of Stephen Hendrick, a former IRA member convicted in 2014 of firearms and explosives offences, was presented as a shopping‑list of items commonly used in producing explosives.
