British funding for Omagh bombing civil action halted
The Northern Ireland High Court heard that Chancellor Charles Falconer accepted a judgment last month that he had overstepped his powers and the mechanism for providing £800,000 (€1.18 million) to help the civil action was unlawful.
At a resumed hearing Judge Mr Justice Coghlin was told by Bernard McCloskey QC that Mr Falconer accepted the judgment and acknowledged he must deal with the court’s concerns.
