SEAMUS DALY

SEAMUS DALY

A 34-YEAR-OLD builder from Cullaville. County Monaghan. In 2004 he was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in jail in the Republic after he admitted being a member of an illegal organisation. He has already been publicly named by the BBC's Panorama team as one of those behind the Omagh bombing. The judge agreed that Daly's mobile phone records linked him to communications between the bomb and scout car on the day of the attack.
Mr Justice Morgan said: "This evidence is supportive of the evidence linking the sixth named defendant to the phone which was used on the bomb run.
"The sixth named defendant has chosen not to answer the case against him. The matters with which this evidence is concerned are matters which are within the knowledge of the sixth named defendant and are matters about which he would be expected to give evidence.
"In my view his failure to give evidence in light of the material against him further supports the case against him and I am satisfied that there is cogent evidence that he is liable in trespass to the plaintiffs."
