DPP given fortnight to indicate when book of evidence will be served

The State has two weeks to indicate when a book of evidence against two Dublin men charged with extortion and IRA membership charges will be served.

Derek Palmer (aged 54), of Corduff Green, Blanchardstown, is charged with making an unwarranted demand of one Wayne Whitehouse with menaces, namely that he pay the sum of €50,000 or be killed.
