OMAGH VICTIMS SEEK PAPERS
Omagh victims seek papers
The families of some victims of the 1998 Omagh bombing are seeking documents from five persons to be used in proceedings for damages against the five in the Northern Ireland courts, the High Court was told yesterday.
The families have brought a motion in the High Court here seeking a range of documents, including books of evidence and the transcript of criminal trials involving each of the five men.
The families say the documents are relevant to an action due to take place in the High Court in Belfast.
The five men against whom discovery is being sought include Michael McKevitt (54), Beech Park, Blackrock, Co Louth, who is serving a 20-year sentence for directing terrorist activities for the Real IRA.
The Supreme Court has reserved judgment on his appeal against his conviction.
