The court was told the charges arise from an investigation into an alleged terrorist attack in the planning by a right-wing extremist group. Mr Pollock has applied for bail and Judge Cody said he would make a decision on that application on Friday afternoon. Det O’Connor told the court he had no intelligence about Mr Pollock before his arrest in Portlaoise on Tuesday night. He added Mr Pollock had no previous convictions and that he was obliged to inform the court Mr Pollock had a right to trial in Northern Ireland, where he resides, if he wishes. Det O’Connor told the court that Mr Pollock had been a passenger in the car of the co-accused when arrested.
