Court orders estreatment of €20,000 offered as bail surety for man arrested after Alan Ryan Funeral
Summary
In a Special Criminal Court hearing on 27 June 2014, the judge ordered the estreatment of €20,000 that had been offered as an independent bail surety for Nathan Kinsella, a 35‑year‑old father of six who had been jailed for two years for membership of the Irish Republican Army. Kinsella had been arrested after paramilitary activity at the funeral of dissident republican Alan Ryan, who was shot dead in September 2012. He had previously been granted bail on 5 October 2012 and was due to stand trial in February, but a bench warrant was issued after he failed to appear. The bail bond was provided by James Larkin, who was not present in court but had been informed of the estreatment application on 19 June. The judge, Justice Paul Butler, approved the estreatment of the full €20,000 but imposed a four‑week stay, allowing the matter to be mentioned again before the court. Nathan Kinsella pleaded guilty.
