Murphy Bailed On Tax Charges
One of the border area's most high profile republicans has been in court today to face charges related to alleged tax fraud.
Detectives from the Irish Republic's Criminal Assets Bureau arrested the alleged former IRA chief of staff Thomas "Slab" Murphy at his home.
Mr Murphy is facing nine charges of failing to file tax returns under the Taxes Consolidation Act.
However, he spent the first part of his detention in hospital having complained of chest pains, but was discharged and appeared in court this morning.
Murphy, who lives on a farm close to the border at Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, in County Louth, has now been released on bail - allowed by the court, as he has no previous convictions.
The bureau has been investigating his financial affairs for three years and has twice searched his home.
The Republic of Ireland's Criminal Assets Bureau was set up in 1996, and was the model for the UK's Assets Recovery Agency.
