IRA membership trial hears fingerprints 'compare' to those of accused
The Special Criminal Court has heard that fingerprints of a 38-year-old man on trial for IRA membership “compared” to those found on mobile phones seized from a Mercedes, which was carrying rifles and ammunition.
Barry O'Brien, of Mountainview Court, Dundalk Co Louth, has pleaded not guilty to membership of an unlawful organisation styling itself on the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Oglaigh na hEireann, otherwise the IRA, on April 6, 2004.
