Law student granted bail after explosives found in car near Irish border
A 25-year-old law student, Isobella Perrie Sullivan, was granted bail after appearing in Trim District Court charged with possession of explosives. She was stopped on the N2 in Co Monaghan, where a bag containing Semtex and a detonator was found in her vehicle. Her defense claims she was unaware of the contents. Bail conditions include a €15,000 surety, passport surrender, daily check-ins at Naas Garda station, and a curfew. One source reports Gardaí objected to bail and sought a ban on contact with certain political groups, while another omits these details.
