THREE PEOPLE WHO were arrested yesterday in connection with the discovery of two improvised explosive devices (IEDs) last year have been released from custody this evening.
Yesterday a man and woman, both in their 30s were arrested in Kells, Co Meath and a second man in his 20s was arrested in Mallow in connection with two incidents in July and March 2012 involving suspect devices.
The device in July was found at a house in Kilnap Place, Farranree and the explosive device found in March was placed under a car. An officer with the army bomb disposal unit was injured during the examination of this device.
All three were detained under the provisions of Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act 1939 at The Bridewell in Cork, Mayfield and Gurranabraher Garda Stations but were released today. Gardaí said a file will now be prepared for the Director of Public Prosecutions.

My first memory is at 2. I remember getting stung by a bee. My mother was sitting next to me and we were outside next to our block of flats.
I can also remember moving house a few weeks later. I remember where I stood in the back of the blue van. I can also remember seeing the house before we moved into it.
My remember being brought to the hospital to see my newborn sister when I was 3. And most of us remember our first day at school at least which is usually 4.
@Laura-Leigh: I don’t remember mine however I can remember my brothers he was a year older and I was on the staircase crying because I wanted to go.
Yes, I remember all of those, in a fair bit of detail. I know people who have photos of themselves “helping” to make a banner with the new baby’s name, it sets the date, & they certainly didn’t imagine that and could even prove it. Parents making a big deal of what to wear on those days – wanting to play outside inside of going indoors. Don’t most people remember their first school day?
I have four or five fleeting but clear memories from when l was 2 and many from ages 3, 4 and 5.
I think the supposed ‘fact’ that we can’t form memories until 5 or 6 is questionable.
@Tom Goss: It has to be questioned. My whole class learnt to read and write in those two years after we started school, aged four. We all learn at least one language fluently, much younger. They can’t be talking about the same brain areas.
I remember the doctor slapping me…
@Pixie McMullen: That was only last week though…
I have memories from when I was 2 of my great grandmother and very clear memories from when I was 3 and had my tonsils out on hospital.
Ouch, you wouldn’t forget that, painful.
I’m pretty sure most if not all stories/memories from the early stages were passed on to me much like the folklore tradition. I retell them as if I remember!
First memory was when I was two. I was in hospital with measles in isolation so my sister couldn’t visit me but looked through the window and waved. I have my own little portable black and white TV to watch bosco on. I hope it’s not a fake memory, seems quite clear to me.
I hear Facebook are trying to combat #fakememories, I mean I was pretty sure I rode around on Unicorns at 3 years old but that dream got deleted
Memories aren’t fact. Remembering something doesn’t mean it happened. Same reason eye witness reports aren’t always reliable.
I remember partially swallowing and choking on a sprinkles tube when I was 3 – my aunt ran in and pulled it out of my mouth and I was sick on the kitchen floor. Remember my first day of school at 4+3months too..
And the other 60% are wrong. “Lies, damn lies and statistics!!”
When I was 3 my mom went to mass at 8.30 one Sunday morning my dad told me she ran away with a soldier.I remember being in his arms and crying till she came back.first day of school I was 4 and I cried after my mom and I got slapped
have your say
