HC Deb 22 June 1999 vol 333 c353W
Mr. Donaldson

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland how many individuals have been charged with offences in connection with the bomb explosion in Omagh, County Tyrone on 15 August 1998. [87891]

Mr. Ingram

On 24 February, Co1m Murphy was charged in the Republic of Ireland with membership of an illegal organisation and with conspiracy to cause an explosion between 13–16 August 1998. The RUC and Garda Siochana continue to co-operate fully in their painstaking investigations. I pay personal tribute to both police services for their complete dedication and tenacity in this investigation.
