Pair accused of directing criminal organisation

Conversations recorded using audio devices placed inside cars will be used to prove that two Galway men are guilty of directing a criminal organisation, a court has heard today.

Michael O’Loughlin (aged 31) of Rahylin Glebe, Ballybane and Edward O’Loughlin (aged 28) of Rockfield Park, Rahoon, have both pleaded not guilty to directing the activities of a criminal organisation in the Galway area between February 10 and June 1, 2010.
