Omagh lawyers serve writs on three more Real IRA suspects

Lawyers acting for the relatives of victims of the Omagh bombing have served three more civil writs seeking damages from Real IRA suspects currently being held in Portlaoise Prison.

Earlier today, the Omagh Victims Legal Trust also served writs at the homes of two other men in Dundalk, Co Louth.

All five men are suspected of involvement in the 1998 bombing, which killed 29 people and injured hundreds more.

Only one man has been convicted in connection with the attack after being found guilty of lending his mobile phones to the people who transported the device.
