A Derry man charged with possession of information likely to be useful in a terrorist offence was remanded in custody for a further week at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin yesterday. Mr Gerald Anthony McFadden (31), of Rathlin Gardens, Creggan, Derry, is charged that on April 15th, at Glebe, Donegal town, he had information relating to Supt Peter Sheridan, of the RUC, including information on his family and his movements, which was likely to be useful in the commission of a serious offence.
Assistant State Solicitor Ms Kathleen Leader told the court that the book of evidence was served on Mr McFadden yesterday morning. The court fixed July 26th as the trial date and remanded Mr McFadden in custody to appear in court again next Wednesday.
