Bombshell in the Emerald Isle: A Law Student's Surprise Arrest The Republic of Ireland has witnessed its fair share of high profile arrests, but few have sparked as much curiosity as that of Isobella Perrie Sullivan, a 25 year old law student charged with possession of explosives.
Sullivan's alleged involvement in dissident republican activity and the role of Semtex in modern terrorism are at the center of the case.
The incident unfolded on Wednesday when Gardaí intercepted a car driven by Sullivan near Carrickmacross, County Monaghan. The vehicle was stopped as part of an operation targeting dissident republican groups.
