IRA suspect 'hands over SF meeting minutes'

A Dublin man accused of IRA membership gave the minutes of a Sinn Féin cumann meeting to a Special Branch detective who was searching him, the Special Criminal Court heard today.

Detective Sergeant Ciarán Daly told the court that Niall Binead removed a piece of paper from the rear pocket of his jeans and handed it to Detective Sergeant Joe Devine, who was in charge of the search at his home in December, 2002.
