BOMBERS MUST BE ROOTED OUT
Bombers must be rooted out
HISTORY repeats itself once again in Ireland, so let it do so completely. When the Treaty settlement was made, the incoming Free State Government, set about ending the violence.
The names of the Provisionals dissenters who set off the Omagh bomb, are probably available to some who participated in the negotiations, to effect the Agreement of April 10.
There is now an opportunity for those committed to its implementation, to show the same courage, statesmanship and dedication in assisting in the search for, and the bringing to book of the perpetrators of this latest outrage as was done in the 1920s.
The habits of violence may be difficult to break, but broken they must be, and those who have committed themselves to making the Good Friday Agreement work, endorsed overwhelmingly by the will of the people on May 22 and June 25, must prevail, if the process towards peace is to be assured.
