Supreme Court to hear Omagh bomb appeal

The Supreme Court will hear an appeal later this week against the High Court ruling that the families of some victims of the 1998 Omagh bombing are entitled to certain, but not all, of the documentation they had been seeking from five persons to be used in proceedings for damages against the five in the Northern Ireland courts.

The families had brought a motion in the High Court in Dublin seeking the books of evidence and the transcripts of criminal trials involving each of the five men.
