BILLY IRVING could be allowed out of an Indian jail to attend his son William’s christening in a Chennai cathedral, when William and Billy’s fiancée Yvonne MacHugh fly out next month.
Billy, from Connel, is one of six ex-British soldiers who were arrested and imprisoned in 2013 when their boat protecting merchant seamen, the MV Seaman Guard Ohio, strayed into Indian territorial waters carrying weapons without permission.
