Gardaí investigating a suspected dissident republican bomb intercepted in a car near the Irish border have charged a man in his 40s in connection with the case.
The man is due to appear before the Special Criminal Court at the Criminal Courts of Justice on Saturday at 8.15pm.
A vehicle travelling on the N2 near Carrickmacross, Co Monaghan, on Wednesday afternoon was stopped and searched by detectives in an intelligence-led swoop.
A 25-year-old law student appeared before a district court on Friday evening charged with possession of explosives.
Isobella Perrie Sullivan, of Abbeylands Park in Clane, Co Kildare, was stopped on the N2, where a bag was discovered in the back of her car containing Semtex and a detonator, Trim District Court heard.
Her solicitor Gavin Booth said she had been asked to take a bag to the north, and had not been aware what was in it.
Perrie Sullivan was granted bail but remains in custody ahead of a further bail hearing on Monday.
The bail conditions include a 15,000-euro independent surety, that she surrenders her passport, that she stays at an address approved by gardaí with a curfew of 9pm to 7am, that she has a mobile phone available 24/7 and that she signs in each day at Naas Garda Station.
