Rights chief refused Omagh meeting by PSNI

Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission chief Brice Dickson was refused a meeting police to discuss their investigation into the Omagh bomb atrocity, it was revealed today.

With the British and Irish governments under increasing pressure to agree demands for a full public inquiry into the August 1998 attack which left 29 people dead, outraged victims’ relatives hit out at the decision to turn down Professor Dickson’s request for talks.
