BLAIR WILL MEET OMAGH RELATIVES
Blair will meet Omagh relatives
TONY Blair is to have talks next month with relatives of victims of the Omagh bomb.
It will be the first time the prime minister has met them since the August 1998 attack, which claimed the lives of 29 people including a woman pregnant with twins.
Michael Gallagher, above right, whose son Aiden was among the dead, will head the delegation to Downing Street on November 29.
"Hopefully we will achieve something positive out of this meeting, because there hasn't been much positive in our lives over the last seven years," Mr Gallagher said.
The group will be pressing Mr Blair to promise that he will agree to a full public inquiry into the bombing, once outstanding criminal and civil proceedings are dealt with.
