Bell appears in court over McConville murderThursday 19 March 2015 20.16 Senior prosecutors have been given two weeks to finalise legal opinion on the case against a veteran republican charged in connection with the death of Jean McConville. Ivor Bell, 78, from Ramoan Gardens in west Belfast, was released on continuing bail after a brief appearance at Laganside Magistrates Court. Mr Bell is alleged to have aided and abetted in the murder of Mrs McConville, a mother-of-ten who was abducted from her home in west Belfast in 1972. He is further accused of IRA membership. During a hearing which lasted less than two minutes, a prosecution barrister requested a two-week adjournment so senior counsel could "finalise opinion" and for the Public Prosecution Service (PPS) to consider it. Defence solicitor Peter Corrigan said he had "no objections" to the short deferral. Ordering the pensioner to reappear again next month, district judge George Conner said: "You are to come back on April 2 for a decision at that stage." Mrs McConville, a widow, was dragged from her home in the Divis flats by an IRA gang of up to 12 men and women after being accused of passing information to the British army in Belfast - an allegation discredited by the Northern Ireland Police Ombudsman. She was shot in the back of the head and buried 80km from her home. The IRA did not admit her murder until 1999, when information was passed on to gardaí. She became one of the Disappeared and it was not until August 2003 that her remains were eventually found on Shelling Hill beach, Co Louth. Nobody has ever been convicted for her murder. The case was adjourned until 2 April.

Ivor Bell sa chúirt maidir le marú Jean McConvilleDéardaoin 19 Márta 2015 16.11 Tugadh coicís d’ionchúisitheoirí sinsearacha tuairim dhlíthiúil a thabhairt chun críche sa chás in aghaidh poblachtánaigh atá cúisithe maidir le marú Jean McConville. Scaoileadh saor ar bannaí leanúnacha Ivor Bell, 78 bliain d’aois, go dtí 2 Aibreán. Tá sé curtha i leith Ivor Bell gur chabhraigh sé agus gur neartaigh sé le dúnmharú Jean McConville i 1972. Tá ballraiocht san IRA curtha ina leith freisin. D’iarr an t-ionchúiseamh an choicís ar an mbreitheamh leis an tuairim dhlíthiúil a chríochnú agus le ham a thabhairt don tSeirbhís Ionchúisimh Phoiblí í a mheas. Fuadaíodh Jean McConville, baintreach a raibh deichiúr clainne uirthi, óna háitreabh in Árasáin Divis in iarthar Bhéal Feirste i 1972. Suas le déaréag, idir fhir agus mhná a bhí sa bhuion ón IRA a rug leo í. Chreid an tIRA gur sceith Jean McConville faisnéis fúthu le hArm na Breataine. Tá amhras caite ar an líomhain sin ag Ombudsman Póilíneachta Thuaisceart Éireann. Lámhachadh Jean McConville i gcúl a cinn agus adhlacadh íiar thrá i gCo Lú. Níor admhaigh an tIRA go dtí 1999 gur dhúnmharaigh siad í, nuair a tugadh eolas ar láimh do na Gardaí. Níor thángthas ar a taisí go dtí Lúnasa 2003.. Bhí sí i measc an tsé dhuine dhéag a d'fhuadaigh paramíleataigh phoblachtánacha i rith na dtrioblóidí agus a adhlacadh faoi rún.
