[edit] "They did import them"
According to Jack Lynch speaking to the Dáil at [1]:
"I also want to assure the House that these arms have not been imported, have not been landed in this country, and that the precautions I have taken will ensure they will not be landed."
Do you have a different source?

Weren't they landed and then seized?

- Don't know, but if they were landed then seized without any of them getting to their intended recipients, then the smuggling attempt did not succeed. Demiurge 08:42, 31 August 2005 (UTC)
"the perceived role of Fine Gael's Cosgrave in defending the institutions of the state" in the RTÉ programme on the topic it appears far from helping the state Cosgrave was supplying information to the British government. Given that the recent released documents support the proposition that the activity was sanction by the appropriate minister [of the government of the day] and that military documents also released support that Lynch was aware Cosgrave was involved in a treasonous act.

[edit] Title
The title of this article is far too vague, it could apply to dozens of crises in various countries. How about Dublin Arms Trial, which I would regard as the title that would mean most to people who already know a bit about the case? PatGallacher 15:32, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
- It could certainly have an Irish geographic limitation added to the title, but the article is about more than just the Trial, so using 'Arms Trial' wouldn't be an accurate title--Rye1967 23:09, 28 May 2007 (UTC)
I am surprised there is no mention jeanne (talk) 06:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)in this article on Colm Condon, who was Ireland's Attourney-General at the time and who subsequentlyjeanne (talk) 06:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC) resigned in protest at the dismissals.I know a bit about this as I was once married to Colm Condon'sgreat-nephew.jeanne (talk) 17:36, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
