Supreme Court reserves judgement on Murphy appeal

The Supreme Court has reserved judgment in 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.
