Man found guilty of having bomb during Queen's visit
A man has been found guilty of having an explosive device at Longford railway station during the visit of Queen Elizabeth in 2011.
David Billings of St. Bridget’s Court in Drumlish, Co. Longford was also convicted of making false bomb threats during her trip.
His trial heard he warned gardaí that bombs had been planted on a bus travelling from Ballina to Dublin.
During a series of phone calls, he also told them explosives had been left at Busáras, Sinn Féin’s headquarters, Dublin Castle and Cork airport.
The Special Criminal Court is now hearing an application to have him remanded in custody ahead of his sentence hearing.
