I met with the Omagh Support and Self-Help Group in July 2012 and they presented me with a copy of their report. I am currently in the process of finalising a detailed consideration of the matters raised by the Group insofar as they relate to this State and to the Garda Síochána. It is expected that this process will be concluded shortly and I will then communicate directly with the Omagh Group.

The British Government has decided that it does not propose to hold a public inquiry into certain matters surrounding the Omagh bombing raised by the Group in their report. The Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has written to the Group stating that she does not believe there are sufficient grounds to justify a further review or inquiry above and beyond those that have already taken place or are ongoing.
