Waterford terror charge suspect before courts this week

An application for bail by a man accused of charges relating to terrorism is due to be heard this Friday by the High Court.

25-year-old Hassan Bal, formerly of O’Connell Street in Waterford city, made his latest appearance at Waterford district court this morning and was again remanded in custody.

He is charged with providing funding for a foreign terrorist group on October 2 of 2015, and attempting to collect funding for a foreign terrorist group on the 23rd of that same month.

The accused was already refused bail by the district court, and Gardaí objected on the grounds of the seriousness of the alleged offences and the risk of flight out of the country if granted.
