Sgt: presence of firearms 'possible and probable', court told
A Detective Sergeant who led a garda raid on a house in Limerick where a suspected Continuity IRA meeting was taking place told the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today that he believed it was "possible and probable" that firearms were in the house when he ordered another garda to break down the front door.
Detective Sergeant John Heelan said that he believed it was necessary to break down the front door to "protect life and preserve evidence".
