A Dublin man has admitted at the non-jury Special Criminal Court to being a member of the IRA.
Darren Gleeson (34), with an address at Corduff Green, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, pleaded guilty today to membership of an unlawful organisation, to wit an organisation styling itself as the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Oglaigh na hEireann, otherwise the IRA, within the State on May 18th, 2017.
The accused man’s trial was due to open today. However, Paul Greene SC, defending, told the court that his client could instead be re-arraigned on the charge.
When the registrar read the indictment to Gleeson and asked him how he was pleading, he replied, “Guilty”.
Ms Justice Isobel Kennedy, presiding, sitting with Judge Sinéad Ní Chúlacháin and Judge Cormac Dunne, remanded Gleeson in custody until November 14th, when he will be sentenced.
