AN end to public inquiries into controversial killings in Northern Ireland would deny the Omagh bomb families the chance to ever find out the truth, it has been claimed.
The Eames-Bradley Report is believed to recommend no more public inquiries of the type of the Saville, Rosemary Nelson, Billy Wright or Robert Hamill investigations.
It is thought it will not oppose these cases being seen through to their end.
Relatives of those killed in the Real IRA outrage in Omagh, in 1998 have reacted angrily to speculation that the group examining ways to deal with the legacy of the Troubles would recommend that no further hearings were instigated.
But Michael Gallagher from the Omagh Support and Self Help Group said a full cross-border judicial inquiry was the only way to find out what really happened at Omagh.
"We have been very badly treated by all politicians across the board who have not supported us, so this won't put us off," he said.
The families are to meet Gordon Brown next month to again call for the inquiry.
