An 18-year-old youth has been denied bail after a loaded sub-machine gun and a silencer were found wrapped in a tea towel in a wheelie bin in Dublin. Detective Garda Donal Donoghue said the defendant made no reply when he was charged at Kilmainham station at 1.20pm today. He alleged Mr Skelly was in control of the machine gun and silencer which were “wrapped in a tea towel”. He said Mr Skelly would sign on daily at a Garda station and provide his mobile phone number. Judge Smyth said Mr Skelly faced very serious charges and he was not disposed to granting bail.
