A prominent republican has appeared in court in Belfast charged with being a member of the IRA.
Colin Duffy, 47, from Forest Glade, Lurgan, Co Armagh, nodded to supporters in the public gallery at Belfast Magistrates' Court as he entered the dock.
He was charged with being a member of a proscribed organisation, namely the IRA, between January 1, 2013 and December 16, 2013.
Duffy appeared in court alongside two other men, Henry Fitzsimons, 46, of no fixed abode and 52-year-old Alex McCrory, of Sliabh Dubh View, Belfast.
The men did not stand in the dock when asked by the court clerk and they did not respond when the charges were read to them.
Fitzsimons and McCrory are charged with possessing firearms with intent to danger life or property.
It is understood the charges are connected to the attempted murder of police officers in north Belfast almost two weeks ago.
Officers escaped injury when shots were fired at their vehicle in the Ardoyne area on December 5.
Three armed police officers stood guard inside the courtroom as all three men were remanded into custody until January 14, 2014.
As the accused were led from the dock a group of around 30 supporters cheered and clapped in the public gallery.
The accused waved and gave a thumb's up in response.
