A grandmother charged with directing a dissident republican terror grouping is to be released from custody, the High Court ruled today.
Amanda McCabe has now spent more than three years behind bars over her alleged role within the “highest echelons” of the New IRA.
Prosecutors claim those in attendance were addressed by two co-accused who identified themselves as the New IRA’s chairman and chief of staff. Her barrister Joseph O’Keeffe, instructed by solicitor Darragh Mackin, stressed how she has been detained since August 2020 and may not face any trial until 2025.
But the judge was impressed by evidence given by McCabe’s father, in which he expressed disapproval for violent republicanism and pledged to inform police if she breached any conditions.
