British govt urged to release Omagh information

A cross-border parliamentary group is calling on the British government to release crucial information on the Omagh bombing.

The emergency motion, proposed by Fine Gael TD Brian Hayes, will be debated tomorrow at a meeting of the British-Irish inter-parliamentary body.

The group wants British authorities to disclose transcripts on the 1998 bombing to the families so that it can be used in their ongoing court action against five people.
