Explosive Discovery Near Border | Belfast News

A bomb packed with Semtex, a timer, and detonator was intercepted near the border in County Monaghan, leading to charges against 25-year-old law student Isobella Perrie Sullivan and 44-year-old Simon O’Donovan, a museum worker accused of storing the device. Sullivan, who has a life-limiting medical condition, was granted bail with strict conditions including a 15,000 euro bond, passport surrender, and curfew — sparking political backlash. O’Donovan was denied bail. Authorities believe the bomb was en route to Derry, underscoring persistent security threats and the high-stakes legal battle ahead.
