TWO men charged with offences in relation to an alleged incident at last year’s Tyrone Ladies GAA final are expected to indicate their attitude to the charges at Omagh Magistrates Court in two weeks time.

The defendants’ solicitor, Michael Fahy, asked the court for CCTV and stills “to assist in the case.”
He said, “The attitude to the charges will be indicated in two weeks.”
