Omagh bombing: Government accused of ‘running away from responsibilities’

Minister for Justice Simon Harris said the Irish Government would wait to see the detail of the UK government’s announcement on the Omagh bomb before responding (PA)

The Government has been accused of “running away from their responsibilities” in relation to the Omagh bomb by the father of a victim.

The criticism comes as the British government is expected to announce a decision on whether to hold an inquiry into the dissident republican blast which hit the Co Tyrone town on August 15 1998.
