Omagh families want talks with former Police Ombudsman official

Relatives of some victims of the Omagh bomb are seeking a meeting with a former member of the Police Ombudsman’s office who was called in to investigate after the acquittal of the only man charged with the atrocity.

Michael Gallagher, whose son Aidan was among the 29 people killed in the August 1998 attack by the Real IRA and who had talks in Belfast today with Al Hutchinson, said afterwards: “Many questions remain unanswered.”
