“My heart besieged by anger, my mind a gap of danger.
I walked among their old haunts, the home ground where they bled,
And in the dirt lay justice like an acorn in the winter
Till its oak would sprout in Derry where the thirteen men lay dead.”

- Seamus Heaney

#BloodySunday

🙏🏻🕯 Thinking of all those who were killed in the Omagh bomb on Saturday 15 August 1998 and of those who have campaigned for truth and justice ever since with remarkable resilience and dignity

Today’s opening of the public inquiry in Omagh is a pivotal step on that road to truth and justice.

“I keep my ideals because, in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.”

-Anne Frank

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
