'Training camp' case: Nine plead guilty to firearms offences

Nine men arrested after gardaí swooped on a suspected Continuity IRA training camp in Co Waterford in 2003 pleaded guilty to firearms offences at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin today.

During a bail hearing in August, 2003 one of the men told the court that the men were deer-stalking in advance of the new hunting season but gardaí said they were taking part in a training camp in the Comeragh mountains.
