The OA, represented by Edward Farrelly SC, claims that five assets transfers, including property, were made when civil and criminal proceedings were pending against Murphy for his alleged role in the atrocity carried out by the Real IRA. That court ordered that Murphy, along with Michael McKevitt, Liam Campbell and Seamus Daly should pay £1.6m damages to the 12 relatives of those killed by the blast.

The assets, which include Murphy’s family home, shares he had in companies that own a Dundalk pub and 30 acres of land, were transferred on dates between April 1999 and October 2001. In proceedings against Murphy of Jordans Corner, Dulargy, Ravensdale Dundalk Co Louth and Hoey of Cloughinney Road Forkhill, Newry Co Down the OA seeks various orders and declarations.
