Description

Shane Glin reports on an arrest which took place at 9pm the previous evening, involving ten men, with some believed to have links with the 'Real IRA'. 

Found within an underground bunker, was various arms, one of which could take down a helicopter!

It is announced that they are being questioned in County Dublin and County Louth, though one of the suspects is believed to be as young as 14. RUC Chief Constable, Ronnie Flanagan, warns that dissident republicans posed a very serious threat and were determined to launch an attack along the border.
