Gardai object to bail for 20-year-old woman accused of having gun at Connolly Station

Summary

In a non‑jury Special Criminal Court hearing, Gardai objected to bail for 20‑year‑old Nikita Murtagh, charged with unlawful possession of a CZ model 70 semi‑automatic pistol, two rounds of 7.65 Browning ammunition and a shotgun cartridge recovered at Connolly train station on 19 July. Garda Marguerite Reilly argued that bail should be denied to prevent a further serious offence and that Murtagh was a flight risk. Murtagh denied that she would commit a serious offence if granted bail. The court adjourned the hearing to Wednesday morning for the defence to submit documentation to the State.
