Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. This is the final debate of the day. It is serious, and it is incumbent on all of us to remember those whom we are here to represent and speak on behalf of. I am a bit nervous: to be fair to those who have spoken thus far, the debate has been respectful. I hope that those who are watching…
I, too, am conscious that today is European Remembrance Day for Victims of Terrorism. The accounts that we have heard in recent days about the atrocity in Omagh have been heart-wrenching and distressing, and I commend the families for their fight to secure their inquiry and for their bravery in recounting the worst…
Thank you, Mr Deputy Speaker. I thank the Members who tabled the motion on this important and sensitive issue. Initially, the Executive had not intended to provide a ministerial response to the debate, given that the issues engaged in the motion fall entirely outside the devolved space. However, in recognition of the…
On European Remembrance Day for Victims of Terrorism, I commend the Member for Upper Bann for bringing this important issue before the House. The Omagh bombing and surrounding incidents hold a special place in our household. My father was one of the first responders to the Omagh bomb. As a paramedic, he was called and…
I commend the Ulster Unionist Party for bringing this important motion to the House. It is particularly pertinent that these matters should be raised on 11 March, which is a day on which people across Europe pause to remember the innocent victims of terrorism. The record of the Irish Republic when it comes to legacy…
I begin, as others have done, by recognising the courage and resilience of those involved in the Omagh Bombing inquiry. The bravery and testimonies shared by victims and those affected have been deeply moving and serve as a powerful reminder of the human costs of the Troubles. It is essential that, as we reflect on…
That might just be my clumsy words. The point that I am making is that, by not having an inquiry down South, we cannot compel people from south of the border to give evidence. I am outlining the problem, and that is the solution that —.
I welcome the fact that we are able to debate the motion. The first and most important thing is to locate everything in empathy and solidarity with the victims of Omagh and their needs. The 29 people, plus two unborn children, who were callously murdered that day in the middle of Omagh deserve nothing but justice. The…
I pay tribute to the families of those killed or injured in the Omagh bomb for their long campaign for the public inquiry. As others have mentioned, it is harrowing to listen to the testimonies. I am sure that the families are relieved that it is happening but are really reliving that tragic time. I very much share…
I speak today as an elected representative of Omagh and of West Tyrone and as a member of the wider Omagh community. It is a community that has suffered greatly and has felt real hurt and pain and dealt with it since the atrocity of the Omagh bomb on 15 August 1998. I have spoken with the families of the bereaved and…
