Alan Ryan’s brother charged with IRA membership (Belfast Telegraph)

A brother of murdered dissident republican Alan Ryan was among three men charged before a sitting of the Special Criminal Court with membership of the IRA.

A major garda search operation was carried out after a military display at the funeral of Alan Ryan, which saw a volley of three shots fired in a salute as the coffin was carried from the family home at Donaghmede, Dublin to the church.

Vincent Ryan (22), of Grange Avenue Drive, Donaghmede in Dublin 13, was charged with membership of an unlawful organisation styling itself the Irish Republican Army, otherwise Oglaigh na hEireann, or the IRA, under Section 30 of the Offences Against the State Act, on September 13 last.

At the weekend special sitting of the non-jury court, his co-accused, Nathan Kinsella (33), of Matt Talbot Court in Dublin city centre, and Darragh Evans (23), of Grange Park Rise, Raheny, Dublin 5, were also charged with the same offence on the same date.

The men were all arrested as part of a garda search and arrest operation which was carried out in dawn raids at locations across counties Dublin, Meath and Kildare and involved more than 200 personnel.
