COURAGE OF THE BOMB TOWN
Courage of bomb town
THE OMAGH bomb inquest started yesterday with the memories of the blast still fresh in the minds of the survivors and the victims' families.
The next four weeks could be unbearable for the people of the town as details of the atrocity and its aftermath are examined in detail.
We will never forget the day in August 1998 when Omagh lost 29 innocent people in the worst atrocity during 30 years of the Troubles.
The pain and suffering of those affected was felt around the world as Ireland North and South united in grief.
Michael Gallagher, who lost his son Adrian, has called on the terrorists to "clear their consciences".
However, the Real IRA have shown no remorse for the slaughter of men, women, children and unborn babies.
Indeed, security sources have said that some of those responsible are still involved in terrorist acts.
It is vital the people responsible for planting the bomb are caught and brought to justice.
Omagh was a watershed in the history of the troubles. Protestants and Catholics united in their revulsion of those behind the terrible act.
The courage shown by the victims and the families of those that died will continue to shine through.
