Man who failed to turn up for IRA trial arrested in Dublin gym

Summary

In February 2014, Nathan Kinsella, aged 33, was arrested at the Abs‑Solute Fitness gym in Cabra after failing to appear for his IRA membership trial. The Special Criminal Court had issued a bench warrant for his arrest following his absence at the January 28 mention and the February 4 trial date. Detective Sergeant Padraig Boyce reported Kinsella's arrest to the court, and Ms Tara Burns SC applied for his remand. The three‑judge panel, led by Mr Justice Paul Butler, remanded Kinsella in custody, with his next mention scheduled for March 6. Kinsella had previously suffered a severe injury that limited his mobility. Earlier, Detective Inspector Paul Scott noted that Kinsella had not been seen by his bailsperson since before Christmas, despite a bail condition requiring him to keep his mobile phone on and observe a curfew from 9 pm to 9 am.
