GARDAI were yesterday continuing their search of the area surrounding the IRA training camp discovered in a remote part of Co Monaghan last weekend.

Two underground firing ranges have already been uncovered within the camp, located in the townland of Knockatallon, near Scotstown.

Gardai have also found 500 rounds of AK47 ammunition, a stolen motorcycle, mortar tubes and gas cylinders since their search began at the beginning of last month.
