Explosives haul man loses appeal

A Co Monaghan man who was jailed for 10 years lost his appeal today against his conviction for having a massive explosives haul near the border in 2003.

Joseph Fee (aged 41), of Blackstaff, Inniskeen, Co Monaghan was jailed by the Special Criminal Court in December 2004 after he was convicted of the unlawful possession of an explosive substance - ammonium nitrate and sugar - with intent to endanger life at Thornfield, Co Louth on June 13, 2003.
