Question 87: To ask the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if it is now intended to publish the report of the Nally group on the Omagh bombing in the light of the acquittal of a person (details supplied) on a number of charges at Letterkenny Circuit Court on 18 January 2005; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As outlined to Dáil Éireann on February 2004, the situation remains that I hope to be in a position to publish an edited version of the Nally report in the future. However, as I also indicated in the Dáil, this could not be done while criminal proceedings were outstanding against the person who made allegations to the Nally group.

Notwithstanding the court outcome to which the Deputy refers, it is understood that other criminal proceedings remain outstanding against the person in question and, accordingly, publication of the Nally report in an edited version does not arise until those proceedings are disposed of.
