[394]Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. O'Donoghue): Information on John O'Donoghue  Zoom on John O'Donoghue  I propose to take Questions Nos. 29 and 43 together.

I am advised by the Garda authorities that their investigations into the Omagh bombing are ongoing and that every lead coming to the knowledge of An Garda Síochána is being vigorously pursued in conjunction with the RUC. No effort is being spared in ensuring that the perpetrators of this crime are brought to justice.
