Sean Hoey was found not guilty yesterday of involvement in the bombings which claimed twenty nine lives in Omagh on August 15, 1998. Justice Weir at Belfast Crown Court said police were guilty of a "deliberate and calculated deception" in their handling of the investigation.
Despite having been held in prison on remand for four years ,Hoey has received no apologies from the judiciary , police , politicians or press who have allowed the young electrician to be scapegoated to cover up for the role of intelligence agencies in the bombings .
Relatives of the bombing victims have vowed to continue their fight to bring the truth about what happened on that tragic afternoon to light. Justice Weir’s indictment of the police and Hoey’s acquittal square with the findings of Police Ombudsman Nuala O'Loan whose report in 2002 said that the RUC deliberately ignored crucial intelligence that, if acted upon, could have averted the tragedy.
