A former businessman will stand trial at the Special Criminal Court over the Lordship Credit Union robbery, in which a Detective Garda was shot dead almost a decade ago.
31 year old James Flynn, of Ravens Glen, Newry, in County Down, was arrested at Dublin Airport yesterday evening, after being extradited from the UK.
James Flynn appeared at Dublin District Court this morning charged with the robbery of €7,000 in cash and cheques at the Lordship Credit Union, County Louth on January 25, 2013 and conspiracy to commit burglaries with two other men, including Aaron Brady, between September 11, 2012, and January 23, 2013.
He denied both charges.
Brady of New Road, Crossmaglen, Co Armagh was sentenced to life after being found guilty in 2020, of the murder of Detective Garda Adrian Donohoe during the Lordship Credit Union robbery.
Flynn was today remanded in custody pending his appearance at the Special Criminal Court - a date for which has not yet been set.
He waved to family members in the public gallery as he was escorted from the courtroom.
