Man linked to plot to bomb Galway mosque claims he can't get fair trial

Karolis Peckauskas

Karolis Peckauskas, 38, of Newfoundwell Road, Drogheda, Co Louth, has been granted leave from the High Court to challenge whether he can get a fair trial under the act, which he claims contravenes his fundamental human rights.
