No explosives found in car of RIRA accused, court hears

A Garda ballistics expert has told the Special Criminal Court that he found no evidence of any explosive substances in a car that had been stopped at gunpoint on the N4 near Mullingar.

Detective Garda John Higgins also said that eight timing devices found in the boot of the red Peugeot estate car could not, in his opinion, be classified under law as an explosive substance.
