A former director of operations of the Real IRA has
lost his appeal against conviction for membership of
an illegal organisation.
Liam Campbell from north county Louth had denied the
two charges but his legal team never challenged the
prosecution evidence and made no submissions on his
behalf.
The Criminal Assets Bureau had previously secured a
judgement of over 800,000 euros against Campbell for
suspected revenue offences.
Three appeal judges have dismissed his application for
leave to appeal for reasons the court says will be
given at a later date.
