A 25-year-old law student, Isobella Perrie Sullivan of Clane, Co. Kildare, has appeared in court charged with possession of explosives after a bomb was found in a car intercepted near Carrickmacross, on the Republic’s border with Northern Ireland. The device was described as containing a timing power unit, a detonator and what some reports identified as Semtex, and the Defence Forces were called to the scene. The interception was tied to operations targeting dissident republican activity, with gardaí stating the bomb could have been driven across the border. Sullivan was remanded in custody and granted bail under strict conditions, including a €15,000 independent surety, surrender of her passport, a curfew, daily Garda sign-ins, and a fixed address. Her next bail hearing was scheduled for Monday as the case proceeds through the Trim District Court. The reports from Belfast Live, Yahoo News, BBC, and the Irish Times collectively confirm the charges and the bail conditions.
