Kilcurry Explosives Find
A small quantity of homemade explosives was found during a search by Gardai at Kilcurry near Dundalk yesterday.
The substance was found in plastic bags stashed in a ditch, and further searches of the area are to be carried out today.
The explosives are believed to have been stashed by dissident republicans, who were probably responsible for the bomb found in August, at the very large house still under construction by Eddie Haughey, Lord Ballyedmund, at Dungooley.
Yesterday's find would appear to be part of a follow up operation to the explosive find at the Haughey house on August 15th, which contained 70lbs of ground fertiliser, with an added booster, and a command wire leading down a nearby lane.
