Five In Court Over 'Kidnap Plot'
Five men arrested in connection with an alleged dissident republican kidnap plot have been remanded in custody at Dublin's Special Criminal Court.
The men - Edward McGarrigle, 42, from Melmount Gardens, Strabane, Co. Tyrone; John McCrossan, 46, from the Ballycolman Estate, Strabane; Gareth Dunne, 22, from Clonard Road, Crumlin, Dublin; Gerard Kelleher, 26, from Cathedral View Walk, Kevin Street in Dublin; and Neil Myles, 53, of no fixed address - have been charged with membership of the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA).
They were all remanded in custody and are due to re-appear before the same court on Friday.
The men were among seven people arrested in Cork, Kerry and Limerick on Friday night as part of a Garda investigation into alleged dissident terrorist activity in the Cork city area.
Reports have indicated that gardaí foiled alleged plans to kidnap a businessman and his family. It is believed that there was a plot to extort money from the man, who lives in Montenotte.
Two of the men arrested were released without charge on Sunday night. Files are being prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.
