A man who is alleged to have been part of a right-wing group that targeted a mosque in Galway and who is charged with possession of explosives says he cannot get a fair trial due to the wording of the Explosives Act. Mr Peckauskas has not entered a plea in relation to the charge and intends to apply for bail for a third time. In November, Mr Peckauskas, who is a co-accused with another man, was refused bail at Portlaoise District Court and then again at the High Court in Cloverhill in December. A document described as a "manifesto" for a right wing group also formed part of the evidence, the court heard. Mr Pollock faces a charge of possession of explosives at O'Moore Place, Portlaoise, and of possessing explosives at an address at Kilhorne Green, Co Down.
