OMAGH'S QUEST
Omagh's quest
YESTERDAY may be the last time for another five years that the families of the Omagh bomb victims stand together in the same place.
The men, women and children gathered for the final annual memorial service for the 29 people, and unborn twins, who were killed by the Real IRA.
The families have agreed to try to move on but their quest for justice must not be ignored.
Their continued plea for a public inquiry into the 1998 atrocity has met a wall of silence so far.
Six investigations into Omagh with no murder convictions is simply not good enough. Almost five years after the attack, the families finally received support from the Government in their battle to bring a civil case against five men they believe carried out the attack.
It would be a crime for the victims' families if they wait another five years before those responsible for Northern Ireland's darkest day remain at large.
