John Downey granted bail


Donegal man John Downey has been granted bail.
The 67 year old from Creeslough is to be released on conditions including a £225,000 cash surety.
He is facing prosecution for the murder of two UDR soldiers in 1972 in Fermanagh.
The judge ruled today that the surety, along with the offer of a bail address in Belfast, eased any concerns he may try to flee.
He had been previously denied bail based on the risk that he could attempt to abscond.
