Trinity graduate sentenced for firearms offences

A Trinity College graduate and three men who were intercepted by armed gardaí outside the premises of a firearms dealer have received sentences ranging from six to seven years for the possession of firearms and ammunition.
Earlier this month Ursula Shannon, 30, who is a PhD student, graduate of Trinity College and prominent member of socialist republican group Eirigi, and her co-accused John McGreal, 37 and Colin Brady, 24, were found guilty of the offences by the Special Criminal Court after a short trial.
