'Slab' Murphy disputes court's right to hear case
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(irishtimes) THOMAS “SLAB” Murphy is challenging in the High Court the
constitutionality of a law under which tax charges against him are to be
dealt with by the non-jury Special Criminal Court.
Mr Murphy (60), Ballybinaby, Hackballscross, Co Louth, is being prosecuted
for failing to furnish tax returns for the years from 1996/97 to 2004. The
charges were brought in November 2007 following an investigation by the
Criminal Assets Bureau. That prosecution is on hold pending the outcome of
review proceedings by Mr Murphy which opened yesterday before Mr Justice
Daniel Herbert.

IRA founder, 89, has ‘no regrets’
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
(newsletter) A FOUNDING member of the IRA has said he regrets none of the
countless atrocities the organisation carried out.
Billy McKee, 89, is the former officer commanding of the IRA in Belfast and
was on its ruling army council.
He refused to condemn the horrific Bloody Friday bombings in Belfast city
centre which killed nine people and injured 130 others, saying it “didn’t
come off as expected”.
Bloody Friday involved 22 bombs exploding in 80 minutes on July 21, 1972.
Although the IRA issued an apology in 2002 to the families of those killed
and injured during the attacks, McKee this week told the Irish News: “I’m
not going to condemn it or the men that carried it out. No way.”
