The seven who have been charged with the attempted murder of the officer ranged from 28 to 72 years of age. Three of those age 28, 33 and 47 have also been charged with the preparation of terrorist acts. Another two of the men, age 38 and 45 are charged with membership of a prescribed organization, namely the IRA.
