Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I am well aware of the time the Taoiseach has spent over the past number of years dealing with the Good Friday Agreement and the attempts to bring about a peaceful solution to the problems of Northern Ireland and cross-Border activities.

Will the Taoiseach confirm if he is to meet with the families of the victims of the Omagh bomb in Dublin, at an appropriate time convenient to him? Will he consent to giving the families of the victims a briefing on the essential elements of the Nally report that do not infringe State security? Will he further undertake to give the families an appropriate edited version of the Nally report which they can peruse?

In so doing, does the Taoiseach not consider that he would be far more genuine towards the plight of the families and their quest for truth than the perception that will emanate from a visit to Omagh for a photo opportunity without meeting the families of victims to explain what he can to them?
