He was released from prison in 2016 after serving a 20-year sentence for directing terrorism and membership of an illegal organisation.
The 71-year-old was married to Bernadette Sands McKevitt, a sister of IRA hunger striker Bobby Sands. From Co Louth, McKevitt always denied being involved in the 1998 Omagh bombing, but in 2009 a judge ruled in a landmark civil trial that McKevitt, Liam Campbell, Colm Murphy and Seamus Daly were all liable for the bomb.A fifth man, Seamus McKenna, was cleared of liability for the bombing.
No-one has ever been convicted of the dissident republican bomb attack in Omagh which killed 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins. In 2019, McKevitt was adjudicated bankrupt in the High Court following failure to pay out the damages.
Shocking what they did that day. The innocent people who died for no reason that day was an awful tradegy.
Burn. 🔥🔥🔥🔥
RIP
Good riddance
Glad
Poor lad
Who gives a shit. Let him explain his crap to his maker
Being organised as we speak. Attendance is compulsory.
Condolences to the families of his victims.
May he roast in hell for eternity
The Omagh Bombing was absolutely abominable. It would be unwise of me to say anything else.
All eyes on attendees at that funeral!
Noted.

Thinking of the “ the people who were killed “ on that day “
God will be his judge. RIP.
