Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, when the Memorandum of Understanding between Omagh Bombing Inquiry and the Government of Ireland relating to the Disclosure of Materials, published on 15 April 2025, was cleared by his Department.
Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The Memorandum of Understanding between the Irish Government and the Omagh Bombing Inquiry is a very positive step. The arrangements underpinning this cooperation are ultimately a matter for the Government of Ireland and the Inquiry, which rightly is independent of Government.
