Court decision clears way for McKevitt trial

A High Court decision today has cleared the way for the trial of alleged Real IRA leader Michael McKevitt to begin in the Special Criminal Court on 11 February.

The Court refused an application by Mr McKevitt for leave to challenge a decision made by the Special Criminal Court refusing further disclosure of documents relating to an FBI agent, David Rupert.

He still has the option of appealing today's ruling to the Supreme Court and his legal team says it is considering this.
