Corkman denies IRA membership charge

A Corkman arrested on suspicion of membership of an illegal organisation had tattoos including the Irish flag and Oglaigh na hEireann on his arms, the Special Criminal Criminal Court heard today.

Garda Fergal Lucey said when he examined Aidan O' Driscoll at Mayfield Garda Station in December 2003 he found a tattoo of the Irish flag on his right arm and on his left arm two Irish flags with the words Oglaigh na hEireann and Saoirse.
