Taoiseach strongly condemns bomb attack in Omagh

The Taoiseach, Mr Enda Kenny TD, has condemned in the strongest possible terms the bomb attack in Omagh, Co Tyrone earlier today

The Taoiseach said:

I utterly condemn today’s horrific bomb attack in Co Tyrone. This was a heinous and pointless act of terror.

Those who carried it out want to drag us back to the misery and pain of the past. They are acting in defiance of the Irish people.

They must know that they can never succeed in defeating the democratic will of the people.
