A man at the centre of a failed attempt to extradite him to Britain has been further remanded in custody for a week on an IRA membership charge.

Mr Anthony Duncan (26), unemployed, from Kippure Park, Finglas, Dublin, appeared at a sitting of the Dublin District Court in Green Street yesterday. He is charged with IRA membership on April 12th. Judge David Riordan remanded Mr Duncan in custody until July 1st.

An application for his extradition in April failed after the State admitted the documentation was "fundamentally flawed" and Mr Duncan was freed before his rearrest on the IRA membership charge.

Gardai later admitted they had made an error in processing the original extradition warrant for the court case.
