Charges against Sinn Fein politician dismissed
Former senior IRA figure Martin Ferris, now a Sinn Fein representative in the Dail, had a courtroom charge against him under the public order act dismissed today because of lack of proof.
Mr Ferris, member for the Kerry North constituency, was accused at the District Court in Tralee, Co Kerry, of engaging in threatening, abusive and insulting words or behaviour near Knocknagoshel, also Co Kerry, in April.
