THREE victims of the Omagh bombing were released from hospital today to meet the American President and First Lady when they tour the devastated town.
Una McGurk, who has been treated for injuries at the Ulster Hospital in Dundonald and sisters, Laura and Nicola Hamilton who have both been in Altnagelvin Hospital travelled to Omagh to meet Mr and Mrs Clinton.
There was no change, however, in the conditions of the three people still in intensive care as a result of the Real IRA car bomb.
The victims - two women and a man - remained critical today at the Royal Victoria Hospital where eight other victims are being treated for injuries.
A spokeswoman for the RVH said of the eight patients, three remained "stable," three are "progressing" and two are "comfortable".
In the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, four patients - three of them Spanish - are still recovering.
The conditions of two of the patients were "improving" and two were "stable".
There was also no change in the conditions of the five people being treated in the Ulster Hospital in Dundondald.
One person remained "ill but stable" and the rest were "comfortable".
There was a slight improvement in the condition of one woman being treated at Belfast City Hospital.
A spokeswoman confirmed the 75-year-old woman was in a "comfortable" condition. A 21-year-old patient also remained comfortable.
There was no change in the condition of eight patients recovering from their wounds in Londonderry's Altnagelvin Hospital.
Five adults - four women and a man - and three children - a boy and two girls - were stable.
A ninth patient was being transferred to the Ulster Hospital.
In Dungannon's South Tyrone Hospital, the sole remaining victim of the bombing, a woman, was in a "stable" condition.
Two victims were also "stable" in Enniskillen's Erne Hospital.
