Sir Ronnie Flanagan has rejected Northern Ireland police ombudsman Nuala O’Loan’s call for an outside officer to head an investigation into the Omagh bomb atrocity, it was revealed tonight.

The British government is set to face demands by the Omagh relatives for a full public inquiry into the bombing of the town, which left 29 people dead, it emerged today.

A man whose wife died in the Omagh bombing atrocity has angrily interrupted a new appeal for information about the massacre.

Relatives of the victims of the Omagh bombing today bitterly attacked Northern Ireland politicians for ‘‘taking the money’’ on a promise of peace but failing to deliver.
