Man walks free from court after explosives trial collapses
Joseph Mooney, aged 43, of Cullinagh, Kilmeaden, had denied the unlawful possession of three mortar launch tubes at his home on Sept 22, 2011, at the Special Criminal Court.
Presiding judge Mr Justice Paul Butler said the court did not have solid evidence before it that three 1m-high tubes found in the home of Mr Mooney were an explosive substance.
