Blair urged to discourage Bush from hosting SF

British Prime Minister Tony Blair was pressured by the fathers of two Omagh bomb victims today to urge President George Bush not to entertain Sinn Féin or loyalist representatives in the White House next month on St Patrick’s Day.

Victor Barker and Michael Gallagher, whose sons died in the bombing, wrote to Mr Blair asking him to convey to the President their concerns as a matter of urgency.
