Cowen: MI5 bombers will be dealt with

The Taoiseach has said that behind last night's bomb attack in the North will be dealt with accordingly.

The Real IRA says it blew up the car outside the MI5 headquarters in Holywood in Co Down.

The bomb went off just 20 minutes after policing and justice powers were transferred to the Stormont power-sharing Government.

Brian Cowen said the already close co-operation between the PSNI and the Gardaí will be strengthened even further by today's attack.
