IRA membership trial told of arrest delay

A garda told the Special Criminal Court today that he waited nearly 10 minutes to arrest a Cork chef accused of IRA membership because he wanted to make sure he had stopped the right men.

Detective Sergeant Rory Corcoran was giving evidence in the trial of Don Bullman (aged 32) of Fernwood Crescent, Leghanamore, Wilton, Cork, who has denied membership of an illegal organisation styling itself the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Óglaigh na hÉireann, otherwise the IRA, on February 16, 2005.
