Mr Heaton-Harris explained that the inquiry would focus specifically on four grounds identified by the court, including handling and sharing of intelligence, use of cell phone analysis, advance knowledge of the bomb, and whether disruption operations could have been mounted. The decision was made to establish a statutory inquiry rather than a non-statutory one or referring it to an independent commission due to its powers of compulsion.

Paid tribute to victims of the Omagh bombing, praised the Secretary of State for his decision but criticised inconsistencies in how other atrocities are treated. Emphasised the importance of providing justice and information to all victims.

Defended the Government's position on the legacy Bill, stating that it aims to provide answers where previous investigations have failed. Highlighted efforts to improve the legislation through discussions with interested parties and emphasised the need for a targeted public inquiry that avoids delays.

Acknowledged the Secretary of State's decision, supported the new inquiry while noting differences from previous approaches. Emphasised addressing defects in public inquiries to ensure efficiency and sensitivity towards security concerns.

Welcomed the announcement but expressed concern about disparities between the Omagh bombing inquiry and other cases under the legacy Bill. Called for equal access to justice, truth, and reconciliation for all victims regardless of the time elapsed.

Commends the Secretary of State for his presentation, emphasises that the Omagh bomb failed in its objectives to disrupt peace, urges engagement with victims' groups and addressing information disparity on both sides of the border.

Acknowledges the importance of moving forward after the peace process, reiterates the aim to keep information flowing between governments for the benefit of victims' groups and to respect all sides in their quest for justice.

Supports the Secretary of State's announcement, emphasises the need for a comprehensive investigation into the Omagh bomb incident, stressing that it was planned and transported from the Republic of Ireland.

Welcomes the statement, calls on the Secretary of State to address concerns about security and intelligence failings which might have prevented the atrocity, questions whether the chair will have flexibility beyond set terms of reference.

Thinks highly of the Secretary of State for his decision to establish an inquiry into Omagh bombing, expresses concern about how the inquiry relates to the Northern Ireland Troubles Bill and calls on him to keep an open mind.

Thanked the Secretary of State for his statement without providing further details or position beyond gratitude.
