IRA accused is refused bail
Summary
Darren Gleeson, 35, a Dublin father of one, was charged with membership of the Irish Republican Army on 18 May 2017. He was remanded in custody after the alleged offence and applied for bail on 31 August 2017. The Special Criminal Court, presided over by Mr Justice Tony Hunt, rejected the bail application. The court cited a probable flight risk and noted that both Gleeson's daughter's mother and his own mother offered €3,000 each for bail. Gleeson remains in custody until 4 October for the production of evidence.
