The Irish Government should start its own public inquiry into the Omagh bombing, according to a motion passed by the Northern Ireland Assembly.

Dublin has said it will fully co-operate with the UK inquiry into the bombing, which is operating out of Omagh, but the Government in the Republic of Ireland has stopped short of committing to a separate public inquiry.
