The Court of Criminal Appeal today has reserved judgement in the case of two men appealing against their convictions for having bomb-making equipment at a Clondalkin apartment two years ago.

Armed detectives were acting on information that bomb-making equipment was found during a raid on a Clondalkin apartment when they arrested a young Dublin man in a car park next to the complex, a court has heard today.

One of the five men charged last week with possession of explosive materials in Dublin has been released on bail at the Special Criminal Court today.

The Special Criminal Court has remanded in custody five men arrested in connection with the discovery of explosive materials in a Dublin apartment.
