Woman Accused of Transporting Explosives Remanded in Custody
The accused law student was remanded with consent to bail after police intercepted explosives, and she must meet strict release conditions.
- Law student Isobella Perrie Sullivan, 25, was charged with possession of explosives after authorities intercepted a bomb in a car near Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan, on Wednesday, July 22, 2026.
- Sullivan's defence solicitor claimed she had been 'manipulated' after being asked to transport a bag to the north without knowing its contents, and she was granted bail on Friday with a €15,000 independent surety.
- Although initially remanded on Monday due to pending surety verification, Judge Raymond Finnegan granted the bail application on Tuesday in Cavan District Court after confirming the surety had been provided by an individual in Claremorris, Co Mayo.
- Perrie Sullivan must surrender her passport, maintain a 9pm–7am curfew, and avoid contact with Saoradh or the New IRA. Co-defendant Simon O'Donovan, 44, a Dublin museum employee, was denied bail and remanded in custody until October 5.
- Sullivan is scheduled to appear before Monaghan District Court on August 7, while O'Donovan remains in custody pending his next hearing on October 5, establishing distinct timelines for the two defendants.
