Mr Robinson said,
“The Memorandum of Understanding falls short of what is required as there is no mechanism to scrutinise the action or inaction of the Republic’s security services.
Baroness O’Loan’s support for further action by the Republic of Ireland highlights what victims and their families have long demanded, truth and accountability from all sides.
The Irish Government must now confront its role in the events leading up to the Omagh bombing. This is not about blame, it’s about responsibility and respect for those who lost their lives.
We cannot talk about truth and reconciliation with credibility if only the UK Government is scrutinised especially when the bomb was planned, prepared and transported from the South.
If there were gaps, missed intelligence, or critical inaction, the Irish Government has a duty to be honest about that. The families of Omagh deserve nothing less than the full picture.”
