Court rejects unlawful arrest submissions on IRA suspects

The Special Criminal Court today rejected defence submissions that five Dublin men arrested in Bray and later charged with IRA membership had been unlawfully arrested and detained.

The court has heard that gardaí recovered a large quantity of Sinn Féin posters, including election posters for Sinn Féin TD Aengus O' Snodaigh, from a car in which they also found a stun gun and CS gas canister after the mens' arrest.
