WELL-KNOWN Real IRA member Seamus McGreevy (56) has been found dead at his home in Co Meath. Gardaí are not looking for anybody else in relation to the death.
A cannabis growing operation was discovered last month in a rental property owned by McGreevy in Co Donegal. Some 1,500 plants, valued at €500,000, were found at the property, which was rented by tenants when gardaí raided it.
Informed sources said McGreevy had been “stressed and under serious pressure” since the drugs were found at the house.
His extradition was being sought by the Lithuanian authorities. McGreevy, Stamullen Road, Gormanston, Co Meath, was wanted in Lithuania for allegedly conspiring from Ireland to obtain weapons, ammunition and explosive substances four years ago.
He received a four-year prison sentence in 2001 after pleading guilty to training people to use firearms in 1999.
