Former Irish ministers express concerns regarding the UK inquiry into the 1998 Omagh bombing, particularly about the availability of crucial intelligence from Ireland. Charlie Flanagan predicts the Republic may withhold important information which could impact the inquiry and the search for justice for bereaved families. While Irish officials maintain that they will fully cooperate, many families fear that essential insights will not be disclosed without a parallel inquiry initiated by the Irish government, which was urged by Mr Justice Horner in his previous ruling.
I fear some information may not be handed to the UK probe, which is disappointing for the bereaved families seeking the truth about the Omagh bombing.
A parallel inquiry was imminently desirable because it would have allowed both jurisdictions to proceed at more or less the same pace.
