The bomb in Omagh on Saturday 15 August 1998 resulted in 29 deaths and hundreds of injuries. It was the single worst incident in Northern Ireland during the current conflict.


Breda Devine (20 months), from Donemana, County Tyrone. Breda was taken by her mother Tracey (27) her into Omagh to shop for a wedding gift. Tracey Devine was seriously injured after suffering 60 per cent burns.

James Barker (12), from Buncrana, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland. James' family had only moved to Buncrana from England a year before the bombing. James was one of three boys from Buncrana to die in the explosion.

Oran Doherty (8), from Buncrana, County Donegal, Republic of Ireland. Oran was one of three boys from Buncrana to die in the explosion. His family said that he had been looking forward to going to Omagh all week.

Maura Monaghan (18 months), from Augher, County Tyrone. Maura's mother and grandmother were also killed. Maura was the youngest victim of the bombing. This is the IRA's honour. 10 years ? Hey Osama has only 7 years to go until all is forgiven !

From I understand, that was a loosecannon.

Blaming the IRA for it is like blaming all conservatives for Oklahoma bombing by Mcvey.
