Court dismisses pair's appeal over INLA membership conviction

Two men have failed in their appeal against their convictions for membership of the INLA linked to a tiger kidnapping plot in Cork.

The Court of Criminal Appeal today dismissed the applications of John McCrossan (aged 49), Ballycoleman Estate, Strabane, Co Tyrone, and Neil Myles (aged 56), a native of Cork of no fixed abode, who were each jailed for four-and-a-half years at the Special Criminal Court in July 2009.
