Gorey woman remanded after court admits firearms guilt
A 32-year-old woman from Gorey has been taken into custody after appearing before Wexford Circuit Court on firearms charges, southeastradio.ie reports.
Ciara O'Reilly, of Gleann an Ghairdín, Gorey, had previously pleaded guilty to possessing weapons at her home. Gardaí recovered the items during a search of the property in March 2025, seizing a sub-machine gun, three grenades and a pistol barrel.
O'Reilly had been granted bail following an earlier court appearance but arrived at Wexford Circuit Court on Thursday with her bags packed. Her barrister, John Byrne, confirmed the guilty pleas and told the court she had agreed that entering custody without delay was in her best interests.
The court also heard that O'Reilly had experienced addiction-related difficulties in the past. She was embraced by her mother in the courtroom before being escorted away by prison officers.
