Three men jailed almost 35 years ago over explosives offences connected to a planned attack on a police football team have had their convictions quashed.

Declan John Murphy, Declan John Moen and Conor Gilmore were jailed in 1991 over a plot to attack the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) team.

The case was referred back to the Court of Appeal by the Criminal Cases Review Commission.

Delivering her majority ruling, the lady chief justice said the convictions were unsafe.
