    Omagh Victims of British Occupation 10 Years on

    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.

    The only people responsible for those deaths were the people who planned and left the bomb there. Or can I go and murder random strangers in Derry or Belfast and blame it on the British occupation?

    Idiotic troll. Perhaps if you had lost someone you might have a different view. On the 10 anniversary of the attrocity you really should have some respect for those who lost loved ones.
    "......... we must sometimes listen to those who, consumed with zeal, have scant judgment or balance. To such ones the modern world is nothing but betrayal and ruin.........We feel bound to disagree with these prophets of doom who are forever forecasting calamity -- as though the world's end were imminent."

    Whatever the history behind it, whoever was responsible. To leave a bomb out like that with an apparent aim at causing a large loss of innocent life was an evil unforgiveable act. I don't know how they sleep at night, i am glad i don't have the burden of having to justify it to myself every day.

    And yes it is a disgrace how Omagh is remembered and reinvigorated every year in memory - yet Dublin/Monaghan is completely forgotten... They were both an eerily similiar kind of attack... An 'Al-Qaeda style' of attack, devised to maximise civilian loss of life.

    May the victims of these atrocities and many more rest in peace.

    May I respectfully suggest that you re-read Primo Levi.
    The law locks up the man or woman, who steals the goose from off the common
    But leaves the greater villain loose, who steals the common from off the goose.

    No, it's an interesting into the "thinking" of the neandathals who were responsible for the single biggest most murderous incident of "the troubles". It goes show you that despite the loating that all decent people have for those who committed this mass muder, there are those who would still try to justify it. "They haven't gone away you know".
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.

    It might be better if you kept out of Northern Ireland issues. You have shown yourself to be anti-Catholic. You have described Gaelic football as "bogball" and hurling as "stick-fighting".
