A couple accused of a gun smuggling plot have had their bail conditions relaxed to take their two children on holiday. Desmond and Alison Kearns are facing terror charges after alleged conversations between them and security agents posing as arms dealers. The recordings allegedly concern the purchase of weapons and explosives for the Real IRA. Mr Kearns, 42, is charged with conspiracy to possess weapons and explosives. His 38-year-old wife is charged with inviting an unnamed person to provide terrorism weapons. The PSNI objected to the family, from Lurgan, going to Donegal as they "would have no control over monitoring their movements". But Mr Justice Gillen said the PSNI and Garda could co-operate on the matter.

A couple accused of involvement in a Real IRA gun smuggling plot have had their bail conditions temporarily relaxed. The change in conditions was made so the couple can go on a week long holiday in Donegal. The application was made in Belfast's High Court yesterday on behalf of Desmond and Alison Kearns from Lurgan, Co Armagh. The couple are facing terrorism charges after alleged conversations between them and members of the British security forces posing as cigarette and arms dealers were recorded.
