Colombia Three supporters rule out plans for domestic appeal

SUPPORTERS of three fugitive Irishmen facing 17 years in a Colombian jail yesterday ruled out attempting to appeal the decision domestically.

Catriona Ruane, speaking ahead of a press conference in Bogota, said it is not an option because the process could take three to six years.

Ms Ruane made the comments without speaking to the three men, Niall Connolly, James Monaghan and Martin McCauley.
