Letter to the Clerk of the Committee from
Kevin Fulton
With reference to the evidence given to the
Northern Ireland Affairs Committee by Norman Baxter on 11 November
2009 concerning the Omagh bombing, I wish to inform the Committee
that Mr Baxter made some serious and untrue allegations about
myself, and I am writing to put the record straight.
As my solicitor can confirm:
1. I did not make a statement through him or
otherwise admitting that I mislead the police Ombudsman's investigators
in my information about the Omagh bombing.
2. I did not make a statement through him or
otherwise admitting that the information I gave about the Omagh
bombing was "factually incorrect".
3. I did not make a statement through him or
otherwise admitting that I lied about the information I gave about
the Omagh bombing.
In fact, the police never questioned me about
the Omagh bombing.
I should be grateful if you would circulate
this letter to the Committee. I should also be grateful if the
Committee would agree to include this letter in the record of
their proceedings.
It is, of course, a matter for the Committee,
but they may wish to consider what it is proper to retain on the
record of Mr Baxter's evidence to them, as I am sure that they
would not want to include an untruthful account in their records.
The Committee may also want to consider recalling Mr Baxter so
these matters can be put to him.
Thank you in anticipation of your kind assistance
in this matter.
