There were “significant failings” in the use of a police computer database by the RUC during its investigation into the Omagh bombing in 1998, a senior detective has said.

Detective Chief Inspector Neil McGuinness told the Omagh Bombing Inquiry these included not enough staff being trained to use the Holmes One system.
