A man has appeared before a sitting of the Special Criminal Court in connection with the discovery of a bomb in a car at the Westlink toll bridge in Dublin.

Martin O'Rourke, 22, of Sheepmore Grove, Blanchardstown has been remanded in custody.

Another 56-year-old man who was arrested in connection with the bomb find is still being detained at Clondalkin garda station.

The bomb was discovered in a car on the M50 in Dublin on Thursday night. It is believed it was primed for use.

Detectives are working on the possibility that the find may be linked to a vigilante campaign by the Continuity IRA against drug dealers in the capital.

The Minister for Justice, Michael McDowell, has described the discovery of the bomb as 'despicable and sickening'.

RTE bias - The Continuity IRA, like their masters in the Provisional IRA are running protection rackets, they are not fighting against drugs.

Drugs and terrorism ping.

Interesting.

I wonder how big was the bomb.

I don't know.

Sounds like Mr. McDowell is pro-terrorst. He's upset with the discovery of the bomb, not the bomb itself.

I think not!
