Omagh bombing appeal opens
AN APPEAL by building contractor Colm Murphy aimed at stopping his retrial on a conspiracy charge connected with the Real IRA bombing in Omagh has opened at the Supreme Court.
A native of Co Armagh with an address at Jordan's Corner, Ravensdale, Co Louth, Mr Murphy (54) is appealing against a High Court decision of last October by Mr Justice Iarfhlaith O'Neill refusing his application to prevent his retrial before the non-jury Special Criminal Court.
