DUP leader questions Irish court’s decision to grant bail in Carrickmacross case
Gavin Robinson said the bail decision raises serious questions after police found a viable Semtex bomb and detonator in a car, officials said.
- On Friday, Isobella Perrie Sullivan appeared before Trim District Court in Co Meath after a Semtex bomb was intercepted in her car near the Irish border on Wednesday.
- DUP leader Gavin Robinson questioned the court's decision to grant bail, stating the discovery of a viable Semtex bomb should have reminded everyone that dissident republican "terrorism remains a lethal threat."
- Solicitor Gavin Booth said Perrie Sullivan was asked to transport a bag to the north without knowing its contents, while another man remains in custody at a Dublin Garda station.
- Perrie Sullivan remains in custody pending Monday's hearing, with bail conditions including a 15,000-euro independent surety, passport surrender, and a curfew from 9pm to 7am.
- Robinson argued the Republic's justice system has "serious questions to answer" regarding the decision, emphasizing that cases involving explosives must reflect the gravity of the threat posed to innocent lives.
