Documents 'intensely relevant' to Omagh civil action, court hears

Transcripts and books of evidence used in the trials of five men at the Special Criminal Court are "intensely relevant" to a civil action being brought against them in the North by victims of the 1998 Omagh bombing, the Supreme Court heard today.

The Supreme Court was hearing an appeal against last month's High Court ruling that the families of some victims of the Omagh bombing are entitled to certain, but not all, of the documentation they had been seeking to be used in civil proceedings due to commence on April 7th.
