A Northern Ireland man accused of planning the Omagh bombing, in which 29 people died, was further remanded on continuing bail when he appeared at the Special Criminal Court in Dublin yesterday.
Mr Colm Murphy (46), a building contractor and publican and married father of four is from Co Armagh, with an address at Jordan's Corner, Ravensdale, Co Louth.
He was charged in February with conspiring in Dundalk with another person not before the court to cause an explosion likely to endanger life or cause serious injury to property in the State or elsewhere between August 13th and 16th last year, and with membership of an unlawful organisation.
The Assistant State Solicitor, Ms Eithne Muldoon, yesterday applied for a remand to June 8th. She said she hoped the Garda file would be with the Chief State's Solicitor's office within four weeks.
Mr Murphy was remanded on continuing bail of £100,000 to June 8th. He is the first person to be charged in connection with the Omagh bombing.
