Woman bailed over spy ring charges

A woman arrested in connection with allegations of IRA intelligence-gathering was freed on bail today after a court was told that a laptop computer found at her home bore no trace of her fingerprints.

Mother-of-two Fiona Farrelly, 46, of Rosgoill Park, west Belfast, was one of four people charged in connection with police raids on six homes in the city and Sinn Fein’s Stormont offices on October 4.
