Lets get Semtex its ok to keep it in your cupboard youll get out off jail free... This is a joke... Maeve House block of flats The discovery was made during a search at Maeve House in the New Lodge area of north Belfast Charges have been dropped against a man in connection with the largest seizure of Semtex explosive in Northern Ireland in the last 10 years. Thomas Hughes, 47, from Maeve House, north Belfast, had been charged with having 2.5 kg of the explosive with intent to endanger life. A detective told a previous hearing the Semtex was found inside the airing cupboard of his flat. The Public Prosecution Service said it was withdrawing the charges on Friday. In a statement, the PPS said: All of the evidence obtained in the course of the police investigation, including the forensic evidence, was carefully considered and it was concluded that there was no reasonable prospect of a conviction and therefore the test for prosecution was not met. During a previous court hearing in May, Mr Hughes was described as someone who came from a republican background, but was a strong supporter of the peace process and was vehemently against any dissident republican activity.
