James Anthony Oliver Albert Corry, 46, was arrested in Killorglin, Co Kerry, on a European Arrest Warrant issued by German authorities for alleged involvement in a 1996 Provisional IRA mortar attack on a British army barracks in Osnabruck, Germany, in which three mortar shells were fired. The High Court granted him bail on conditions set by the Minister of Justice and Equality and the court. Conditions include an independent surety of €3,000, residence at a specified address, signing on at a local Garda station, and compliance with standard bail terms. He must not apply for a passport or travel documents, remain within the jurisdiction, maintain good behaviour, keep the peace, and sign on three days per week. The court will closely monitor compliance, and any breach will be brought before the court. Corry is due to appear again on 10 November.
