On the 10th anniversary of the Omagh bombings.
RIP to all those dead in one of many desperate acts committed in the centuries of occupation by the British.
In remembering the dead we should also think about the 100s maimed for life, blind, parpaplegic, deaf, lame and forever dependent on others and in many cases, on medication.
We should also remember the dead and maimed in the British Army/Loyalist/RUC attack in the one worst attrocity on our island with the greatest loss of life; the Dublin and Monaghan bombings; http://www.dublinmonaghanbombings.org/
PLEASE read 'The Dublin & Monaghan Bombings' by Don Mullan. This book fully demonstrates the physical and emotional suffering the injured and victims friends and families continue to encounter with many considering and commiting suicide. These people ARE the forgotten victims, they have little or NO support from consecutive Irish governments and this is a SHAME upon all of us.
No doubt the British government will treat the Omagh survivors with more compassion and offer more support and they will not be forgotten like the Irish victims so easily were.
