Garda chief already suspected IRA membership
A Garda Chief Superintendent involved in the investigation of three Armagh men accused of membership of the Real IRA had suspected one man of membership for 20 years, the Special Criminal Court heard today.
Chief Superintendent Colm Rooney told the jury that he knew of Mr Aidan Grew for over 20 years, and formed the belief he was an active member of the Real IRA after Mr Grew's arrest in November 2002.
