A decision will be announced later today if a public inquiry will be held into the 1998 Omagh bombing.
29 people were killed and more than 200 others were injured in the Real IRA attack.
It was the worst single worst atrocity of the Troubles. The bomb claimed the lives of 29 people, including a woman pregnant with twins, hundreds more were injured.
A warning that a bomb had been planted was given by telephones. 35 minutes before the blast, but it gave the wrong location. People who thought were escaping danger were heading straight towards it. In 2021, a high court judge found there was a real prospect the attack could have been prevented. The UK and Irish Governments were urged to conduct investigations. The Secretary of State is expected to make a statement in the House of Commons later today.
