Omagh Judicial Review: Statement by Secretary of State

Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Brandon Lewis said:

“My deepest sympathies go out to all those affected by the Omagh bombing.

“It was a great tragedy which resulted in unimaginable suffering for the families of those tragically killed and injured. The impact of this atrocity was also felt by individuals and communities across Northern Ireland and further afield.

“I want again to put on record my sincere regret that the families of those killed and wounded have had to wait so long to find out what happened on that terrible day in 1998.

“We will now carefully consider the full judgement.”
