Man wanted on terrorism charges loses bail bid

Summary

Ryan McKenna, a 24-year-old man wanted in Northern Ireland on terrorism charges, was refused bail at the High Court. Mr McKenna is sought by UK authorities to face allegations of conspiracy to cause an explosion, possession of explosives with intent to endanger life, and possession of explosives in Lurgan, Co Armagh, in 2007. The court heard that he was arrested at Cross, Co Mayo, on September 9 following a European Arrest Warrant endorsed in August. It was noted that his three co-accused had already pleaded guilty to the offences. Following an application by his legal team, Mr Justice John Edwards refused bail and remanded Mr McKenna in custody. The matter was adjourned, with his extradition case scheduled to be mentioned again on November 12.
