The Police Ombudsman in Northern Ireland has decided not to publish the details of his report into the 1971 loyalist bombing of McGurk's Bar in Belfast until he meets with the families of those killed.
A statement detailing the conclusions of the report has already gone into the public domain, but Al Hutchinson's office says it will not be going into any further detail until the meeting has taken place.
15 people were killed in the explosion, including two children.
Prior to the Omagh bomb, the blast at McGurk’s Bar in December 1971 had been the single biggest loss of life during the Troubles.
It was originally thought that the explosion in the Catholic bar had been an IRA mistake and that the bomb had gone off while it was being made.
In his report, Mr Hutchinson found that the RUC knew this was not the case but it allowed the story to go unchallenged.
He dismissed claims that the police had not investigated the atrocity fully.
The families of those killed in the blast have criticised the report, describing it as a whitewash.
Pointing to a number of inaccuracies in the report itself, they say it has compounded their grief and trauma.
