254. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality if he has decided on the possibility of a cross-border public inquiry on foot of the report submitted to him by the Omagh Victim Support Group and the decision by the Northern Ireland Secretary of State Teresa Villiers to deny that Inquiry; when he made that decision and if it was done prior to the announcement by the Northern Ireland Secretary of State the reason he has not communicated this decision to the Omagh Victim Support Group; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

As the Deputy will be aware, I met with the Omagh Support and Self Help Group last year and received a copy of a document which they have compiled on events surrounding the terrorist atrocity at Omagh. I am currently in the process of finalising a detailed and consideration of the issues raised in that document. I will conclude this process soon and once a conclusion has been reached I will communicate directly with the Omagh Group.
