A PROMINENT dissident republican who is being sought by authorities in Lithuania was remanded in custody in Dublin yesterday.
Liam Campbell, who was convicted of Real IRA membership and is being sued by relatives of Omagh bomb victims, faces extradition proceedings on charges of terrorism offences in Lithuania.
However, the High Court in Dublin heard that the state has consented to conditional bail for the 46-year-old from Co Louth, which is likely to be granted on Monday. Bail will be allowed on his own bond of €100 (£93) with an independent surety of €50,000 (£46,650).
Campbell has also been ordered to sign on daily with gardai in Dundalk and submit his passport.
The Lithuanian authorities are seeking Campbell’s extradition on charges of terrorism and trafficking weapons.
His brother Michael has been detained in Lithuania since his arrest there last year.
Yesterday a court in Vilnius was told that the authorities are awaiting the extradition of Liam Campbell before the case can proceed.
