It is hard to believe that it is ten years in August since the horrific terrorist bombing of the small Northern Ireland town of Omagh. And ten years on the surviving victims and those family members of the people who lost their lives are still looking for justice for the havoc and tragedy this terrible event wreaked on their lives.
Thirty-one people were killed and many more maimed and yet no-one has yet been convicted for this crime. The families of the victims have had to resort to suing the five Real IRA men known to be responsible for the bombing for damages. The case has begun in Belfast; the evidence will be shown in all it’s graphic horror and all those people, and the police, will have to once again relive that dreadful day with all it’s painful memories.
Let’s hope that the outcome will a positive one for them all. No amount of compensation will repair the damage but someone has to pay for what they did.
