"McGuinness could, but won't, deliver for Omagh victims" - Allister
22 December 2007
Statement by Traditional Unionist MEP Jim Allister:
"As victims have already aptly observed, Sinn Fein could do much to provide justice for those robbed of loved ones by the Omagh bomb and now plunged into fresh despair by the outcome of the criminal proceedings.
The Sinn Fein leadership could deliver the community cooperation necessary to bring the bombers to justice, but consistent with Minister Gildernew's infamous avowal that she would not recommend constituents to give information on dissident terrorism, they hold back, choosing rather to let the families suffer. In truth, if McGuinness and his ilk told all they knew, then many crimes could be solved and justice delivered to countless families. Sadly, behind their weasel words is an overriding loyality to the republican cause which makes their supposed commitment to the rule of law a fraud and a deceit."
