Gardaí found firearms references, court hears

Gardaí raiding a house in Limerick where a suspected Continuity IRA meeting was taking place found a handwritten note containing references to firearms, "knee cap job" and "a safe house", the Special Criminal Court in Dublin heard today.

Detective Sergeant Declan Mulcahy, Henry Street, Limerick, told the court that the note began with "Pa Byrnes" and what appeared to be an "equal sign" opposite the words "two shotguns plus .23 and .38."
