A Belfast man accused of helping the IRA to smuggle guns from America sent $10,000 to a US accomplice, a court was told this morning.
Mr Sean Burns was also alleged to have supplied the man with a credit card which he used to pay for flights and use of the internet.
A Crown lawyer told the High Court in Belfast that the accomplice, Conor Claxton, originally from Belfast, had been jailed for his part in the Florida gun-running operation.
Mr Burns (26), from Clonard Place, West Belfast, was among four people remanded in custody last week charged with making money available to the IRA to buy firearms and ammunition.
The lawyer said the gun-running came to light in July, 1999, after postal workers in Coventry found 37 weapons in packages posted in Florida and destined for Northern Ireland.
Two women from Dunloy, Co Antrim, were freed on bail on Monday.
Granting bail at £750, Mr Justice Girvan ordered Mr Burns to surrender his passport and report to police twice a week.
