Decisions to be made today over breaches of regulations at Bobby Storey funeral
Decisions on whether anyone will face action over potential breaches of health regulations at Bobby Storey’s funeral are due to be made known today.
A police file has been with the Public Prosecution Service since December.
It has been reported that the actions of 24 people were looked into, including Deputy First Minister Michelle O’Neill.
The funeral attracted 2,000 mourners at a time when only 30 people were permitted at public gatherings.
The investigation centred on possible offences under the Health Protection (Coronavirus Restrictions) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2020.
Under the regulations any breaches can attract fines.
Mr Storey, 64, died in June following an illness.
He was a senior republican figure and had formerly been the head of intelligence for the IRA in the 1990s.
