LIAM NEESON TO NARRATE DOCUMENTARY ON BOMB VICTIMS

Liam Neeson to narrate documentary on bomb victims

ACTOR Liam Neeson has agreed to narrate a documentary film which will focus on the courageous battle of two victims of the Omagh bombing.
The Ballymena born born star is currently preparing to do voiceovers for the film which follows the lives of 16-year-old Claire Gallagher and Stephen Coyle (10), who both received seriously injuries in the attack.
The project is being directed by independent film-maker, Iain Webster, a former news editor with BBC Northern Ireland.
Provisionally titled 'Omagh the Legacy' it has been commissioned by BBC Northern Ireland and BBC2. Interest in the project has also come from RTE.
A film crew connected with the venture recently accompanied Claire Gallagher during her visit to the White House on St Patrick's Day.
And film-makers were also allowed access to operating theatres where Stephen Coyle was being treated.
Last year, Mr Neeson also featured on the recent tribute album 'Across the Bridge of Hope', which was dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives in last August's bombing.
