Police charge a woman in her 20s in connection with a bomb described as belonging to dissident republican activity, which is reported to have been seized near the Irish border. Multiple outlets say the woman is accused following the interception of a vehicle near the border area. The Independent reports that she was the driver of the car at the time of the interception.
The case is set to be heard at a special court sitting in Co Meath. Sources agree that the woman is due to appear before a special sitting of Trim District Court on Friday evening.
The reports focus on the charge and the court appearance; they do not provide detailed information in the supplied text about the device, the circumstances of the seizure beyond being intercepted near the border, or any specific allegations beyond the bomb connection. No claims are attributed in the summaries beyond the description of the suspected bomb as dissident republican-related, and the accounts do not include information on the outcome of any proceedings.
