Families of those who lost loved ones in the Omagh bomb have criticised former secretary of states for Northern Ireland for refusing to hold a public inquiry into the atrocity, and revealed one minister fell asleep during a meeting.
Stanley McCombe, who lost his wife, Ann, in the 1998 atrocity, said there had been 13 secretaries of state since the Omagh bomb, prior to Chris Heaton-Harris, who had failed to order the public inquiry.
