调查听证会获悉，爱尔兰警方在奥马赫爆炸案调查期间与北爱尔兰皇家警察（RUC）保持着“非常密切”的合作关系。
Irish police had a "very close" working relationship with the Royal Ulster Constabulary (RUC) in the Omagh bombing investigation, the inquiry into the atrocity has heard.
爱尔兰国家警察（An Garda Síochána）的警督卡塞利表示，爱尔兰共和国警方的响应是“即时”的，而且规模“非常、非常庞大”。
Det Supt Casserly of An Garda Síochána (the Irish police force) said the response by officers in the Republic of Ireland was "immediate" and "very, very large".
他的证词通过一段预先录制的视频提供，该视频由调查委员会于9月在都柏林采集。
His evidence was given through a pre-recorded video, gathered by the inquiry in Dublin in September.
卡塞利警督表示，针对载有炸弹的车辆，爱尔兰警方的调查“一确认那辆车身份就立即展开”。
Det Sup Casserly said the gardaí investigation started "as soon as that vehicle was identified" in relation to the car that carried the bomb.
1998年8月15日，在蒂龙郡发生的爆炸案中，有29人丧生，其中包括一名怀有双胞胎的孕妇。这是“北爱尔兰冲突”期间最严重的单起恐怖袭击事件。
Twenty-nine people, including a woman pregnant with twins, died in the bombing in the County Tyrone town on 15 August 1998. It was the biggest single atrocity in the Troubles.
调查听证会获悉，这辆车在爆炸案发生两天前于莫纳汉郡的卡里克马克罗克斯被盗。
The inquiry has heard that the car had been stolen in Carrickmacross, County Monaghan two days before the bombing.
这位警探表示：“调查规模非常、非常庞大，持续了很长时间，长达数十年，产生了数百项调查任务和海量材料。”
"The investigation was very, very large and it went on for a long period of time, decades, generating hundreds of investigative tasks and a massive amount of material," said the detective.
他介绍了调查组如何在卡里克马克罗克斯立即设立了一个案件处理室，并随后将其转移至莫纳汉镇。
He outlined how an incident room had been set up immediately in Carrickmacross and moved to Monaghan town.
调查听证会获悉，爱尔兰警方共开展了1077条调查线索，记录了480份口供，执行了92次有记录的搜查，并实施了99次逮捕。
The inquiry heard that the gardaí had 1,077 lines of investigation, took 480 statements, carried out 92 recorded searches and made 99 arrests.
听证会还讨论了北爱尔兰皇家警察与爱尔兰警方之间的合作关系，卡塞利警督表示，两方警队“非常密切”。
The working relationship between the RUC and the gardaí was addressed, with Det Supt Casserly saying that the two forces were "very close".
他说：“他们定期会面，彼此之间有直接沟通和顺畅的信息交流。”
"They regularly met and there was direct communication and free flow of information between them," he said.
1998年8月15日爆炸案发生后的几天里，爱尔兰警方在卡里克马克罗克斯开展了挨家挨户的调查，并使用了一份标准化问卷。卡塞利警督表示，当时可供调查使用的监控录像非常有限。他说：“我们现在所熟悉的家用监控系统几乎根本不存在。”
In the days after the bombing on 15 August 1998, house-to-house inquiries were carried out in Carrickmacross, with gardaí using a template questionnaire. Det Supt Casserly said that there was very little CCTV available to the investigation. "The sort of domestic systems as we know them now were virtually non-existent," he said.
企业或商业领域虽然确实存在相关系统，但其标准和质量远不及今天的水准，这意味着当时几乎没有或完全没有生产出对调查或侦查有任何用处的闭路电视监控录像。卡瑟利警督的证词陈述将于明天继续。
"Systems in place in businesses or commercially used, while they did exist, weren't nearly to the standard or quality that we would have today, meaning that there was very, very little or no CCTV produced which was of any use to the inquiry or investigation." The presentation of Det Supt Casserly's evidence will resume tomorrow.
当天早些时候，调查组听取了指纹专家凯文·克肖的陈述，他向调查组介绍了在犯罪现场采集指纹的流程。
Earlier in the day the inquiry heard from Kevin Kershaw, an expert in fingerprints, who outlined to the inquiry the process of gathering fingerprints at the scene of a crime.
他还提到一份2001年出具的报告，该报告指出，从现场收集到的碎片，包括车辆部件，均未进行指纹检测。
He also referred to a report carried out in 2001 which said that debris collected from the scene, including vehicle parts, were not tested for fingerprints.
经过检测的物品包括电话亭、硬币、一张卡片和一个信封，共提取出77个指纹或掌纹。
Items which were tested included telephone boxes, coins, a card, and an envelope which produced 77 finger or palm prints.
但其中一些样本被认为“脊线细节不足，无法用于与嫌疑人或数据库进行比对”，因此仅有11组指纹被保留在国家数据库中供日后核查。
But a number were considered to have insufficient "ridge detail for purpose of comparison against suspects or databases" and only 11 sets of fingerprints were retained on the national database for future checking.
听证会还讨论了北爱尔兰皇家警察（RUC）与英国其他警方的协作程度。
There was also discussion at the hearing over how much the RUC liaised with other police forces across the UK.
调查组律师表示：“北爱尔兰警察部门无法提供任何文件来证明与奥马赫爆炸案相关的指纹曾被送往苏格兰场。”克肖则提出，这些指纹“可能在未记录的情况下被寄送过去”。
Counsel for the inquiry said there was "no document that the Police Service of Northern Ireland can point to that establishes that fingerprints relating to the Omagh bombing were sent to New Scotland Yard". Kershaw suggested that there was a possibility that it was "sent without being documented".
但当被追问是否认为苏格兰场应当记录这一流程时，他回答：“毫无疑问。”
But when pressed if he would expect for that process to be documented by New Scotland Yard, he replied: "Most definitely."
