A cold draught?

Shaun Woodward, the NI Secretary of State has declined to give public support to Sir Ronnie Flanagan after the damning critique in yesterday’s judgement on the Omagh bomb case. He said:

“The lessons to be learned from this judgement are far and wide. It is important that we look at this very, very carefully. It wouldn’t do any kind of justice to the 29 people who were murdered in the bomb and the two unborn children for me to give you a phlegmatic response.”
