Braney, whose address is Glenshane Crescent, Tallaght, was arrested at 5:41 pm by Detective Garda Colm Finnerty outside Finglas Garda Station. Finnerty informed him he would be brought before the court, detained him, transported him to the Special Criminal Court, and presented the charge sheet; Braney made no reply and remained seated when asked to stand. Maguire, of Kippure Park, Finglas, was arrested at 5:42 pm by Detective Garda Ronan Judge, who also believed the offence had been committed. Judge Finnerty transported him to the court, handed him the charge sheet, and Maguire likewise made no reply and stayed seated.
