Family that lost 3 generations in Omagh bomb ‘hope no others suffer’ as inquiry hears heartbreaking tributes to victims
A FAMILY that was robbed of three generations of females in the Omagh bomb have said they hope no other family suffers as they have.
Mary Grimes died in the atrocity on her 66th birthday, along with her daughter Avril Monaghan, 30, who was pregnant with twin daughters, and her 20-month-old daughter Maura.
The Omagh Bombing Inquiry heard tributes to them during the second day of commemorative hearings for the 29 victims of the August 15, 1998 dissident republican bomb attack.
Inquiry chairman Lord Turnbull described the multi-generational loss as something that “constitutes an incomprehensible loss” and paid tribute to their family for sharing their memories of their loved ones.
The inquiry was shown photographs of Mrs Grimes, Mrs Monaghan and little Maura – who won a “bonnie baby” competition during her short life – as well as ultrasound scan pictures of the unborn twin girls who had been named Eimear and Evelyn.
Fearghal Grimes gave evidence to the inquiry on Wednesday.
He recalled how at the inquests into the Omagh bomb, former senior coroner John Leckey said he could not recall any one family suffering such a loss in the history of the Troubles.
He described his mother Mary as a woman with a strong Catholic faith, a strong work ethic and a “deep sense of family values and she lived these out every day”.
Born in Co Cork, he said she trained to be a nurse and then a midwife before meeting his father Mick and settling together on a dairy farm in Beragh – where they had 11 children.
“No-one was ever turned away from her door and no-one left without a cup of tea or some of her beautiful current bread or apple tart,” he said.
“A modest woman all her days, our mother let her actions and her endless compassion speak for her.”
The probe, which sits at the Strule Arts Centre in the Co Tyrone town, also recalled the second youngest victim, Breda Devine, 20 months, and 16-year-old Alan Radford on Wednesday.
It was the second day in a planned four weeks of commemorative hearings for all victims as well as those impacted.

The series will be fronted by ITV star Holly Willoughby and sees Una alongside familiar faces Mel B, Shirley Ballas, Danny Cipriani and Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen.
The show centres around the celebrities being placed in the middle of the Central American jungle where they are prey for adventurer Bear Grylls.
Taking to her Instagram yesterday, Una shared some of the looks she had been rocking over the last week.
The mum-of-two looked happy as ever while she posed in front of a vintage Volkswagen Beetle that had been turned into a plant pot.
The 43-year-old donned a chic suede biker jacket from All Saints.
The belted biker jacket retails on All Saints’ website for the eye-watering price of €455.
She paired the beautiful piece with a pair of bootcut jeans from Sandro Paris.
The light-wash denim jeans featured two buttoned pockets at the front.
She rounded off her TV look by wearing a pair of her own shoes from her brand Una Healy Original Collection.
The elegant snakeskin-printed calf sock boots are a bestseller from her brand; they are sold out on her website, but Wild Pair Boutique in Cork has the boots priced at €40.
Later on during her press tour, Una changed her look for an appearance on The Six O’Clock Show with Katja Mia and Brian Dowling.
For the show, Una ditched her biker jacket and instead put on a stunning short-sleeved navy jacket.
‘STYLE AND ELEGANCE’
The small double-breasted piece had gold buttons along its seams and pockets, as well as a lined collar.
Currently, the cropped jacket retails on Sandro Paris’ website for €295.
Una captioned her post: “Today’s looks.”
Friends and fans rushed to her comment section to gush over her stylish looks.
Arthur Gourounlian wrote: “Simply HOT. Beautiful Inside and Out.”
Aidan remarked: “Style and elegance combined.”
Another fan added: “Running out of words for your beauty and style. Can’t wait to see how you got on in the jungle.”
Met Office forecasts SNOW hitting UK this week in icy -4C plunge – as map reveals when & where flurries will hit
THE Met Office has warned that snow could hit parts of the UK this week with an icy -4C plunge on the cards.
While Storms Eowyn and Herminia have battered the country in recent days, it looks like Brits will have to brace themselves for more wintry conditions.
Snow in the Peak District earlier this month[/caption] A jogger amongst the hard frost near Holme Pierrepont, Nottinghamshire a few weeks ago[/caption] The Met Office weather forecast for tonight[/caption]Those in Northern Ireland and Northern Scotland could even see snowfall and “wintry showers” tonight, said the Met Office.
The forecaster said: “Showers on Wednesday night will lead to a risk of icy patches.
“Showers will be wintry over high ground across Northern Ireland, and to lower levels across northern Scotland with a slight covering of snow possible in places, mainly above 200 metres.”
It comes as the forecaster has issued a yellow warning for ice in northern Scotland, the Highlands and Northern Ireland from 10pm tonight until 10am on Thursday.
It’s looking to be a chilly night this evening with frost forming in many rural parts across the north.
Temperatures could also fall to a bone-chilling -4C tonight in regions affected by the warnings, warned the Met Office.
Parts of Cumbria and the North East could also see the mercury fall under 0C.
The yellow alert coming into effect cautions that icy patches could cause travel disruptions on Thursday morning.
If setting out on foot, the forecaster recommends using pavements along main roads as they’re likely to be less slippery.
The warning covers the Highlands, Moray, Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen, the Western Isles, and parts of Argyll and Bute.
Meanwhile, those travelling anywhere should give themselves extra time due to icy conditions.
Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Chris Almond provided an outlook for the coming days.
“Most areas will be dry with sunny spells on Thursday, although theres the risk of some freezing fog patches at first,” he said.
“Cloud, outbreaks of rain and hill snow will spread to the northwest by the end of the day, and Friday will see a cloudy day in the south, with some sunshine further north, before the next band of cloud and rain arrives in the northwest later.”
Meteorologist Alex Burkill said that while there is not much in the way of strong winds for the UK, we are going to see some heavy rain pushing across southern parts.
Forecasters have warned that multiple storms could hit the UK following the carnage of Storms Eowyn and Herminia.
Met Office meteorologist Jeff Knight said: “An outlook for increased storminess carries a risk of storm clustering, meaning multiple storms could affect the UK in quick succession, like we have already seen for storms Eowyn and Herminia.
“Although the outlook can’t give any indication of the severity of specific events and therefore if any particular system will be named, the chance of impacts from wet and windy weather, particularly during February and March, are higher than to normal.”
The storm clusters are set to come in towards the end of the week, with ice warning have been issued in the north today and tomorrow.

IRFU have urged fans to arrive early at Aviva Stadium in Dublin ahead of Ireland’s Six Nations opener against England on Saturday.
Simon Easterby is set to lead the men in green for their Six Nations opener with Andy Farrell forced to take a sabbatical ahead of the 2025 Lions Tour of Australia.
Communications Director Aoife Clarke has detailed a new enhanced match day experience in place for Ireland’s opener.
The IRFU have hired ‘maniac’ DJ Mark McCabe for pre-match entertainment as they hope to build the atmosphere prior to the game getting underway.
They will also show live coverage of Scotland vs France from 2:15pm on the Aviva Stadium‘s big screens ahead of the 4:45pm kick-off in the Irish capital.
The news comes after the union conducted ‘match day experience’ surveys with some fans during the Autumn Nations Series games.
She recalled: “We’ve listened closely to our fans and made some changes to enhance the overall experience.
The IRFU want fans inside the Dublin 4 venue prior to kick-off as they want to create an unbelievable atmosphere for the clash against Ireland’s oldest rivals.
Clark added: “We want our fans to create an electric atmosphere from the moment they walk through the gates,” she added.
“The energy in the stadium will be a driving force for the team – and by arriving early – our supporters will help set the tone for what’s sure to be a fantastic day.”
The IRFU employee also requested for fans only to move from their seat in breaks of play to avoid distractions for fans and players.
She concluded: “We ask all of our supporters to show respect for one another and be considerate of their fellow fans.
“Movement during live play can cause disruptions, so please ensure you take your seats and move around only during breaks.”
The gates at the Aviva Stadium open at 2.45pm, two hours ahead of the 4:45pm kick-off in Dublin.
