No application for bail was made, and he was remanded in custody to appear in court again next month.

There was a cheer from his supporters in court as he was taken away.

The accused was arrested during a police operation in Lurgan’s Kiln Lane on Thursday night.

Two other men - aged 23 and 28 - have been released pending reports to the Public Prosecution Service.
