A man has been charged with a series of terrorism related offences linked to dissident republicanism after police uncovered a major haul of guns in Northern Ireland.

The man (54) was arrested in the Newry area of Co Down on Friday. He is due to appear in court in the city tomorrow.

The charges he faces include possession of articles likely to be of use of terrorists, preparation of terrorist acts and possession of firearms with intent to endanger life.

The development comes after police uncovered what they described as a “significant” firearms find linked to current dissident republican activity.
