The case opened at Dublin's Special Criminal Court today of four Derry men accused of Real IRA membership.
Gary Donnelly (28), of Kildrum Gardens, Michael Gallagher (29), of Sackville Court, Martin Francis O'Neill, of Colmcille Court, and Patrick John McDaid (38), from Marlborough Street, all denied membership of an unlawful organisation styling itself the Irish Republican Army.
Their trial, which is expected to last 20 days, was later adjourned until Thursday because additional evidence against the accused was served at a late date.
The men were arrested at Bridgend during a Garda operation into the activities of dissident republicans in Co Donegal. The brief hearing was delayed for a short time as O'Neill - who was the only man on bail - arrived late at the city centre courthouse - and all four were remanded in custody until Thursday.
