THIS WAS NOT THE LAST SAYS TAOISEACH
This was not the last', says Taoiseach
IRISH Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has warned that Omagh will probably not be Northern Ireland's last atrocity because of a "small element" who refuse to accept the Good Friday Agreement.
Speaking on BBC yesterday, he said he would "love to say" he believed this was the last such incident.
"But I think there is a small element, and they are small, who do not share that feeling," he said.
"They believe that they have some kind of a mandate from some period in history that gives them some right to do this. Of course they have not."
