BABY JOY FOR OMAGH BRIEF
BABY JOY FOR OMAGH BRIEF
By PAULINE REYNOLDS
Families' lawyer and celeb wife expecting their first child
OMAGH families lawyer, Jason McCue, and his celebrity wife, Mariella Frostrup, are expecting their first baby.
The child is due on August 14, the day before the sixth anniversary of the atrocity.
The 34-year-old London lawyer is no stranger to high-profile legal cases.
But he's on record as saying that the one case closest to his heart, throughout his career, is the civil action taken by the Omagh families, against those they blame for the outrage.
"I have never been more proud than I have been to act for the families," he said, in a recent interview.
"The stand they are making is an inspiration to everyone.
"They have so much support from people all over the world for what they are doing."
In July 2002, McCue personally delivered writs to the Dundalk homes of Seamus Daly and Seamus McKenna.
It was the first stage in a legal battle by the families of the 29 victims to bring the suspected bombers to justice, through a landmark civil action.
McCue has also represented David Trimble in a number of libel cases, and was a lawyer for The Cook Report investigative TV programme.
Broadcaster and writer, Mariella, has been at the forefront of her husband's work for those bereaved by the bombing.
She hosted a fundraising dinner in Warrington, which attracted, among others, Bob Geldof, David Trimble and Peter Mandelson.
