aidan gallagher was in 0magh shopping on the day of the bomb. the 21—year—old never came home.had 31 beautiful, innocent people die and i think it's important that they are acknowledged. the thing at the back of all of our minds is that the people responsible for this horrendous, wicked and evil atrocity will not be held to account. that's the unfortunate thing. chaired by lord turnbull, the inquiry will spend the next four weeks hearing from relatives of those who were killed and those who witnessed the bombing and its aftermath. it will also evaluate the intelligence picture at the time, but its purpose is not to identify the individuals responsible. for many people who live and work in 0magh, the consequences of the bombing are still present even today. the 0magh bomb is something that whenever you do think about it, and you think about it too much, it becomes a very emotional and evocative subject. and i think that's maybe where a lot of people are. they don't forget it, but they might not necessarily want to dwell too much on it. five former pupils at this school were kill

aidan says he can now get back to offering rickshaw rides. i'm just happy it's back open. for many, it meant a return to favorite ice cream shops, restaurants and fishing spots, even though some admit they still have lingering concerns about safety. i wonder if i can pick it up. it's surprisingly quick. it's maybe more surprising that it's able to just collapse on that side, and they're more reassured that the rest of this is fine. but you know, they're the experts. we're not international tourists. consider the reopening perfect timing. very happy that they opened here today. it's our first day and our only chance to come and walk on the pier. the end of the pier remains closed and there is no timeline for if or when repairs will be completed. but most of the wharf that attracts 2 million visitors a year is open once again, providing the backdrop for cherished memories. what a perfect day to come out here to celebrate my wife's birthday! marianne favro today in the bay and happening today. dungeness crab season officially begins after being delayed several times. the comm
