Minister for Justice, Equality and Defence, Mr. Alan Shatter, T.D., Meets
“I met today with representatives of the Omagh Support and Self-help Group
and received from them a copy of a report they have on events relating to
the Omagh bombing on 15 August 1998.
I am grateful to the Omagh group for providing me with a copy of the report
and I will read and consider it fully. I have indicated to the Group that
I will also forward the report to the Garda Commissioner for his
consideration.
The atrocity at Omagh was a callous and brutal act of murder carried out by
people with no regard for human life. I share with the Omagh relatives and
with all right-thinking people the aim of doing all we reasonably can to
try to prevent any repeat of such an awful tragedy."
