Nevin begins appeal against murder conviction

The hearing of an application by Catherine Nevin as part of her attempt to have her murder conviction declared a miscarriage of justice resumed before the Court of Criminal Appeal today.

Lawyers for Nevin want access to documents which they claim are highly relevant to their client’s application, including Garda security files on three men who gave evidence against the 58-year-old at her trial almost 10 years ago, and material related to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in 1974.
