Members of a violent and extreme far-right group were “laughing and joking” as they rehearsed a video statement they planned to release after an attack on Galway Mosque, a court has heard. Mr Peckauskas faces one charge of knowingly having in “his possession an explosive substance” at O’Moore Place, Portlaoise. The detective added that the charge Mr Peckauskas was facing was a serious one, carrying a jail term of up to 14 years. He said the footage showed four masked men and described as “well-founded” the Garda’s suspicion that one of those men was Mr Peckauskas. Judge Cody refused the application for bail and remanded Mr Peckauskas in custody to appear before the court again on December 11th.
