The Lessons of Omagh

I have spent the day in Mid Ulster, tracking down the Deputy First Minister Martin McGuinness for an interview for tomorrow's Inside Politics.

Asking questions about the Omagh house fire is difficult, given the appalling nature of what happened and the fact that a murder investigation is still underway. But at the same time after the dark week we have experienced the tragedy seems impossible to ignore. So apart from talking to the Deputy First Minister about his visit to the scene, I asked whether, once the PSNI investigation is complete, a wider inquiry should be held. He tells me that lessons will have to be learned by various branches of the government.

The rest of the interview concerns the Real IRA's attacks on police officers and the Paul Quinn murder.

As usual you can hear the programme at 12.45 on ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Ulster.
