Summary

A Galway man, Karolis Peckauskas, faces trial for allegedly plotting to attack a mosque, accused of possessing pipe end caps and hydrogen peroxide. His defense is mounting a bold legal challenge, arguing the Explosives Act unfairly shifts the burden of proof to the accused — a move they call “impermissible.” The High Court has granted leave for judicial review on this key legal point, leaving the outcome uncertain and potentially setting a precedent for how such cases are handled in Ireland.
