Theatre proceeds given to Omagh

EIRE Prime Minister Bertie Ahern is to receive the IR£50,000 proceeds from the first night of a Dublin stage show - to hand over to victims of the Omagh bombing.
Among other guests at tonight's production in the Gaiety Theatre of The Celtic Story - which is all about the famous Glasgow football club - will be a hero of the Omagh blast.
Sean O'Connor, 19, from Dromore, Co Tyrone, was shown on a post-bombing amateur video film aiding the injured - while wearing a Celtic shirt.
There, too, will be Aisling Doherty, 16, from Buncrana, Co Donegal, whose brother Oran was among three young boys from the village to die in Omagh while on a cross-border day out.
And a third young guest will Warren Warnock, 14, a supporter of the rival Glasgow Rangers club, present to show solidarity with his Celtic counterparts.
Soccer fan and one-time player Mr Ahern will accept the cheque on behalf of the Scottish-Irish Omagh fund, established last month specifically to raise, cash for those caught up in the terrorist attack.
Mr Ahern said of the first-night gesture: "The decision to dedicate the funds raised from the Gala Premier to the Omagh fund epitomises the generosity of this great club, which has non-sectarianism at the very core of its philosophy."
A number of soccer and showbiz personalities will also be at the Gaiety for tonight's opening.
