The Irish government has been urged to set up a Cory-like inquiry into the Omagh bombing.
Welcoming the publication of two reports by Justice Peter Cory on Thursday, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny said: "This model of preliminary inquiry by an external person is one which could make progress on other cases, and I would urge the government to consider a similar arrangement in relation to the investigation of the events surrounding the Omagh bomb."
Justice Cory, a retired Canadian Supreme Court judge, found that there was evidence to suggest that elements within the gardai colluded with the IRA in the 1989 murders of Chief Superintendent Harry Breen and Superintendent Bob Buchanan.
However, he found that there was no evidence to suggest a rogue gardai passed on intelligence to republican paramilitaries plotting the 1987 murders of Lord Justice and Lady Gibson.
In the wake of the reports justice minister Michael McDowell announced plans to establish a public inquiry into the deaths of the two RUC men.
Mr Kenny said that he hoped they would receive the cooperation necessary, including from the republican movement, to ensure that the full truth was established.
He also called on the British government to honour its commitment to publish the four Cory reports in its possession.
Labour leader Pat Rabbitte said that the Cory investigation had established "compelling grounds" for a public inquiry, with full powers to procure documents and compel witnesses.
