Arrest of Bullman lawful, says court

The Special Criminal Court today rejected claims made by the defence that the arrest of a Co Cork chef accused of IRA membership was unlawful.

Don Bullman (aged 32), of Fernwood Crescent, Leghanamore, Wilton, Co Cork has denied membership of an illegal organisation styling itself the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Oglaigh na hÉireann, otherwise the IRA on February 16, 2005.
