OMAGH BOMB CIVIL CASE ADJOURNED FOR SUMMER
Omagh bomb civil case adjourned for summer
THE Omagh bomb civil case has been adjourned for the summer holiday after hearing 11 weeks of evidence in courts in Belfast and Dublin.
Six families of those killed in the bombing in the town on August 15, 1998 have taken the multi-million pound case against the men they believe were responsible for the atrocity. Twenty-nine people and unborn twins lost their lives while hundreds more were injured. The dissident republicans being sued for the massacre Michael McKevitt, Colm Murphy, Liam Campbell, Seamus Daly and Seamus McKenna deny liability. The families have sought recourse to a civil action as they believe no-one will ever be convicted in a criminal court of law. The Omagh families are seeking punitive and exemplary damages in this court action. No date has yet been fixed for the resumption of the case.
