Policing meeting protest 'shows Sinn Fein out of touch'

Sinn Fein demonstrators who forced the abandonment of a policing meeting in a town where Real IRA bombers killed 29 people, are out of touch with public opinion in Northern Ireland, it was claimed today.

Speakers at the first meeting of the policing partnership board in Omagh, Co Tyrone, last night could not be heard above the chants of republican protesters.
