Man to face Omagh charges

[emad]

10 May 2005

An electrician is to be charged later this month with murdering 29 people who died in the Omagh bomb massacre, the Northern Ireland High Court was told today.

Papers are to be served on Sean Gerard Hoey, 35, who is already in custody accused of a series of terrorist offences.

Although it was reported that police are set to bring charges against him over the worst single atrocity in Northern Ireland, his defence said today that had not yet happened.

But a Crown barrister disclosed the wheels were in motion during an adjourned bail application at the High Court in Belfast.

1. The bombing was a terrible loss of life....

I only hope that all the evidence is brought forward in this trial. I would be most interested in what the RUC, Garda, MI5 and MI6 knew about the bombing. I would like to know why the RUC allowed the bomb to be transported from Dundalk to Omagh in a stolen car.

I do not mean that RIRA should not be held accountable. They should. But the whole thing was a fuck up from the beginning and HM Government, the Free State Government and NI Security Services should be held accountable also.
