Motion text
That this House marks the 25th anniversary of the 1998 Omagh bombing, the bomb planted by the Real IRA that killed 29 people including a pregnant woman with twins; remembers that a large car bomb exploded on a Saturday afternoon in the centre of Omagh, Co Tyrone, when the town's main street was crowded with shoppers and that more than 200 people were injured; notes that it has been described as the worst single atrocity in almost 30 years of the Troubles in Northern Ireland; highlights the independent inquiry into the bombing, which should bring some form of justice and, more importantly, closure to the family and close friends of the victims of the bombing; and further notes that neither those 29 people, 16 of whom were under the age of 25, nor the deplorable actions of the Real IRA, will ever be forgotten.
