A case involving manslaughter charges over the deaths of three teenagers outside a St Patrick’s Day disco more than three years ago has been mentioned in court for the first time.
A district court judge said there was a “lot of documentation involved” in the case against hotel owner Michael McElhatton, 55, and a self-employed member of security staff, Seamus Mitchell, 44.
Connor Currie, 16, and 17-year-olds Lauren Bullock and Morgan Barnard died in a fatal crush as hundreds queued at the doors of the Greenvale Hotel, in Cookstown, Co Tyrone, for a disco on March 17 2019.
