Down man remanded in custody on terror offences linked to planned attack on Galway city mosque

A man has been remanded in custody in the North, charged with terror offences following a cross-border investigation into a planned attack on a Galway city mosque.

38-year-old Connor Pollock, from Croob Park, Ballynahinch, County Down, appeared before Downpatrick Magistrates' Court today.

The charges relate to an alleged plot, by a group styling itself as the Irish Defence Army, to attack the mosque in Ballybrit and also target accommodation facilities used to house migrants.

The investigation into violent far-right extremism is being conducted by Gardaí and the PSNI.
