FAMILIES TO VIEW BOOKS OF CONDOLENCE
Families to view books of condolence
BOOKS of condolence for the Omagh bomb horror are to be shown to the victims and their families.
Omagh District Council decided yesterday to set aside a week for private viewings of the thousands of signatures and messages.
And flowers laid at the tragic scene are to be turned into paper - on which a book of writing and poems may be published.
Councillors also set up a trust and the meeting heard it was impossible to predict the final amount cash donations will reach.
The monthly meeting took more than five hours to deal with the backlog of business delayed by the bomb which killed 29 people and injured more than 200.
Members have also been told a delegation from Warrington - where two young people were killed in an IRA bomb - may visit the town to hand over a donation.
DUP councillor Oliver Gibson said: "We want to get things slowly but sensitively back to normality and our hope is to have some sort of permanent memorial.
"We still have a host of visitors coming into the town, many of them to make donations."
