Omagh bomb families begin legal actions

Relatives of the Omagh bomb victims today began an action in the Special Criminal Court in Dublin seeking documentation to help their £10m (€15.1m) claim against those suspected of carrying out the 1998 atrocity.

Lawyers for the relatives applied to the court for transcripts and books of evidence relating to a number of recent trials at the court involving men who are named in the Belfast High Court action.
