A Dublin man arrested after a Garda investigation in to paramilitary activity at the funeral of Alan Ryan has pleaded guilty to IRA membership.
Nathan Kinsella (33) was due to stand trial at the Special Criminal Court last month. However, the non-jury court issued a bench warrant for his arrest after he failed to appear for his trial.
