Alliance leader Naomi Long, a former justice minister in the Northern Ireland Executive, has appealed for anyone with information relating to the August 1998 Omagh bombing to come forward.

Ms Long’s comments follow a commemoration service over the weekend and before a Tuesday gathering of some of those bereaved by the incident to mark the 25th anniversary of the Real IRA attack.
