A woman charged in connection with an alleged dissident republican meeting has been refused bail.
Amanda ‘Mandy’ McCabe (50), from Ailsbury Gardens, Lurgan, mounted the application after Mr Justice Colton granted bail for a co-accused having expressed concern about the time she had spent in custody.
However, he cautioned against using his decision to grant bail as a precedent for the other co-accused.
During legal arguments at Dungannon Magistrates Court on Friday, McCabe's lawyer cited the decision to release Sharon Jordan.
There are nine co-accused with McCabe including both Sharon and David Jordan, Damien Joseph McLaughlin from Dungannon, Kevin Barry Murphy from Coalisland, Isaam Bassalat from Edinburgh, Shea Reynolds from Lurgan and Patrick McDaid, Joseph Barr and Gary Hayden from Derry.
The major covert surveillance operation conducted jointly by MI5 and PSNI recorded meetings held by alleged dissident republicans at a residence in Omagh.
State-agent Dennis McFadden allegedly captured discussions on the IRA executive, recruitment, weaponry, an economic bombing campaign, close-quarter shootings of police officers and cyber-attacks.
At a previous hearing, the prosecution noted David Jordan was allegedly recorded explaining the IRA constitution obliges him to “brief the others”.
During one meeting it is claimed he said: “Hypothetically, if someone can get us things for £45,000, I’m sure Mandy could get us £45,000.”
He also spoke of “torturing people if ordered”,
The majority of the defendants remain remanded in custody but some have been granted bail on stringent terms.
At the most recent sitting, McCabe's lawyer argued that the case had undergone significant changes since her initial bail hearing in 2020.
He pointed to a higher surety being offered, surpassing that of her co-accused who had been granted bail.
The defence added that three others have been granted bail.
In delivering his ruling, Deputy District Judge Sean O’Hare held there had not been a significant change in circumstances warranting the bail application and reiterated Judge Colton's “explicit warning against using his decision as a precedent.”
Bail was refused and McCabe is scheduled to appear again by video-link later this month.
