O’Loan gives cool response to Nally but families outraged
In its first response to the report, the office of Ombudsman Nuala O’Loan seems to be nonplussed at the Nally Report’s findings that allegations about garda handling of intelligence in the run-up to the atrocity were unfounded.
A spokesman for Ms O’Loan’s office yesterday referred to a 57-page report submitted by her to the inquiry chairman, former Government secretary Dr Dermot Nally. It set out the detailed chronology of events provided by Detective Sergeant John White (now under suspension and facing separate criminal charges) covering the period leading up to and immediately after the Omagh Bombing.
