Charges withdrawn in Real IRA membership case

Charges of Real IRA membership against four Northern Ireland men, including missing Armagh man Garreth O' Connor, were withdrawn by the State at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today.

O' Connor went missing in May last year while on his way from his home in Armagh City to Dundalk Garda Station to sign on as part of his bail conditions and the PSNI have since launched a murder investigation.
