Four Derry men arrested during a Garda investigation into dissident republicans in Co Donegal last month have been further remanded in custody by the Special Criminal Court.
The four accused are Gary Donnelly (38), Kildrum Gardens, Michael Gallagher (28), Sackville Court, Martin Francis O'Neill, Colmcille Court, and Patrick John McDaid (39), Marlborough St, all in Derry city.
They are charged with membership of an unlawful organisation styling itself the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Óghlaigh na hÉireann, otherwise the IRA, on March 16th.
Prosecution solicitor Liam Mulholland applied for a remand in custody until the end of May and he told the court that there will be an indication then when the book of evidence in the case will be ready.
Ms Justice Elizabeth Dunne, presiding at the three-judge, non-jury court, remanded all four men in custody until the end of May.
