Victims of Omagh bomb remembered ahead of 25th anniversary

The victims of the Omagh bombing have been remembered in the town.

A memorial service was held yesterday ahead of the 25th anniversary of the attack tomorrow.

29 people including a woman pregnant with twins were killed on August 15th 1998.

Buncrana students Shaun McLaughlin, James Barker and Oran Doherty were also among the victims as well as two members of a Spanish exchange group who were staying in Inishowen.

West Tyrone MLA Daniel McCrossan says it’s been a tough time for their families:

 

A number of events are taking place in Donegal to mark 25 years since that tragic day.

This evening a Mass of Remembrance will take place at the Oratory in Buncrana at 6pm.

Tomorrow, on the anniversary a rosary is being held in Knockalla Drive at 3pm.
