Lawyers for IRA man 'not notified of parts of Superintendant's evidence'

Lawyers for a Dublin man who was jailed for five years for IRA membership were not notified of parts of the belief evidence of a garda Chief Superintendant that helped convict him, the Court of Criminal Appeal has heard.

The three-judge court today heard submissions in an appeal against conviction brought by Sean Farrell (aged 27), who in May last year was jailed for five years by the non-jury Special Criminal Court after it found him guilty of membership of the IRA.
