A Craigavon man accused of collecting information – ‘an image of a private vehicle’ belonging to a PSNI officer – ‘likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism’ – has had his bail varied to attend a wedding in Spain.
Sean Patrick Martin (41), of Carrigart Manor, is charged in relation to July 6, 2023.
Also on that day he is charged with ‘publishing or communicating information about an individual who is or has been a constable in the Police Service of Northern Ireland which was of a kind likely to be useful to a person committing or preparing an act of terrorism’.
At Craigavon Magistrates’ Court on Friday a defence barrister said it was “agreed bail variation” to “facilitate attendance at a wedding in Malaga” with the trip lasting from June 21 to June 25.
Previously the defendant had his bail varied to allow him to go to a caravan in Donegal in May.
Last year the defendant had bail varied to go to Dublin to watch Armagh GAA team.
The case is listed for a preliminary enquiry – the legal step to send the case to the Crown Court – on July 2.
