Garda claims warrant was issued before house search
A Garda Superintendent told the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today that a search warrant was issued for a house in Limerick city where seven men accused of membership of an illegal organisation were arrested after he briefed another senior garda officer in the city.
Superintendent Gerard Mahon said that he directed three detectives to monitor the movements of two men, Des Long and Patrick O'Shea , on December 17, 2001 and he met Superintendent Anthony Kennelly at Henry St Garda Station at 7.30 pm that night.
