WE WILL NEVER FORGET

We will never forget

THE barbaric act of savagery and murder which visited Omagh was totally incomprehensible.
I remember voting in May for peace, but these so-called republican dissidents seem to fly in the face of the democratic will of the majority of the people of this island.
Do they not understand that the war is over, we are at last building a society of peace and equality with Catholic and Protestant together?
People are left feeling hopeless that 28 more lives have been added to the roll-call of deaths due to the Troubles.
Graphically, the small white coffins hit home the grim reality of children's lives taken needlessly away.
Was this done in Ireland's name?
No, most definitely no.
Ireland voted for peace, not carnage and death.
I pray that the example of our First Minister, David Trimble, and his deputy, Seamus Mallon, working together can bring both nationalist and unionist together. We must cling to that momentous day in May when the Irish people both and south voted for peace.
May there be no more sorrow and pain and may a lasting peace be a testament to the people who died at Omagh.
We will never forget you.
S COULTER,
Lisburn
