Man charged with Omagh bombing begins appeal
The Supreme Court has commenced hearing an appeal brought on the behalf of 54-year-old building contractor Colm Murphy aimed at stopping his re-trial on a conspiracy charge connected with the Real IRA Omagh bombing in which 29 people died.
Last October at the High Court Mr Justice Iarfhlaith O'Neill refused Mr Murphy's application to prevent his re-trial, which is due to be held before the non-jury Special Criminal Court.
