Real IRA Suspect Charged
Following the unscheduled outbreak of law and order mentioned at EU the other day, I'm pleased to see a fourth man has been charged following the arrests made in Armagh and Fermanagh.
Paul McCaugherty, 39, from Lurgan, has been remanded in custody on 6 charges including conspiracy to murder and gun smuggling, acquiring assets for use by terrorists and making assets available for use by terrorists.
McCaugherty is accused of being the 2nd in command of the Real IRA, the group behind the 1998 Omagh bomb which killed 29 people. He will appear in Craigavon Magistrates Court on 20th July.
This is the most recent in a string of arrests of Real IRA members in recent months.
