Woman accused of having handgun at Connolly Station is refused bail
Summary
The Special Criminal Court refused bail to 20‑year‑old Nikita Murtagh, charged with unlawful possession of a CZ 70 pistol, two rounds of 7.65 Browning ammunition and a shotgun cartridge recovered by gardai at Connolly Station on 19 July.
