Omagh bomb civil action reopens in Dublin today

Tuesday, 27 May 2008

The landmark civil court case which six families of the Omagh bombing victims are bringing against five men is to reopen in Dublin this morning.

The families believe the men are responsible for carrying out the Real IRA attack in 1998 in which 29 people were killed.

They are suing them for over €17m.

The five accused, Michael McKevitt, Liam Campbell, Colm Murphy, Seamus McKenna and Seamus Daly, deny any involvement in the blast.

The groundbreaking case is the first time victims of terrorism are confronting the alleged perpetrators.

It is also the first time a Northern Ireland case is being heard in the south.

• Gritty, moving and heroic...Billy plays captured life here

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ... Sunday's 30th anniversary screening of the seminal Too Late to Talk to Billy was riveting viewing. But it wasn't nostalgic viewing.

• Parties need better defence in Stormont's game of two halves

Surprise, surprise. Peter Robinson has been to his first gaelic match, Martin McGuinness is heading for Windsor Park and the Ulster Unionists have scored another own goal.

• Why trying to go on a diet is never really a piece of cake

Some people make New Year’s resolutions, I make lists. Every new year I determine to keep track of everything I spend and everything I eat and drink.

• Scary movie? Their jaws were sore from laughing

Teenage boys love horror films and I have two who are in charge of the remote control in our house, so naturally there’s gore-a-plenty on the box most weekends. However, until recently one film was banned.
