Meath man's bid to overturn 1972 manslaughter conviction ready to go ahead

A bid by a Meath man to quash his conviction for killing a teenager in the Wicklow Mountains almost 40 years ago, opens at the Court of Criminal Appeal next week.

Martin Conmey (aged 59) of Porterstown Lane, Co Meath, is claiming new evidence not available at the time of his trial in 1972 will prove he was not responsible for the death of Una Lynskey.
