Nine questioned on Terror Camp in Ireland
Local police are continuing to question nine men about what appears to be a terrorist training camp in the Republic of Ireland.
Reports initially suggested that there were ten men though it now seems that one was a child in the company of a relative. They were arrested at the site and are alleged to be connected to the dissident terrorist group, the ‘Continuity IRA’.
The camp is in isolated woodlands on the borders of Waterford and Tipperary in the south of the country and appears to hold equipment for use in terrorism and evidence of training in the form of spent rounds and targets.
It has also been suggested that one of the men is from Northern Ireland, highlighting further the ongoing difficulties with the peace process.
Those arrested are being detained under laws that permit the police to hold terror suspects for three days without charge, but will then have to be released on Wednesday if no charges are filed.
Investigations into the use of the site are ongoing and the Irish police will continue with their wider operations along the border of Waterford and Tipperary.
