The Office of the Police Ombudsman Northern Ireland has been criticised for not including fingerprint evidence which was given to it in the days before publishing a key report into the 1970s bombing of McGurk’s Bar.

Fifteen people were killed in the blast at the north Belfast bar in December 1971.
