  • Why are people disliking this thats just Sad this was a National devistataion

  • Comment removed

  • I'm from California. The closest I've ever been to Ireland is Las Vegas. From what little I know of the situation, is that Northern Ireland wants something. So they're solution is to ... Bomb themselves? It's not that I don't respect the seriousness of the situation, it's just that I'm an outsider and so it all seems a bit self defeating.

  • @ashwack49 When ireland acheived independance the British held onto the north by drawing an artifical border where protestants were a slight majority

    Catholics didnt have the vote or jobs

    When the civil rights marches startedt, they were attacked +supressed by the ruling unionists +police

    Thats when the Provisional IRA broke from the old IRA to defend catholic ghettos

    The IRAs objectives were to hit the UK economically by targeting economy + military, to force them to negotiate

  • @olliephelan As an American who knows little of the situation, I see that it's more complicated than I thought. I'll try to read more about the history.

    The difference between a terrorist and a Freedom Fighter is slippery slope. We all know this.

    To your own people you look like a hero. To the majority that holds the power you look like an annoying gnat who should be crushed.

  • @ashwack49 The British objective after 1969 was to undermine the IRAs support with the people by destroying its public image

    The IRA relied on public opinion

    Whenever a bomb killed innocent civilians they lost some supporters

    The IRA always gave bomb warnings to prevent civilians deaths

    The police adopted the tactic of denying they recieved any warnings so the IRA could be presented as callous murderers

    The OMAGH warning was deliberately mis-read in order to destroy the R IRA

  • @ashwack49 It's good to see that someone can admit they know little about a situation... You always see/hear people shooting their mouths off based on what they've heard other people say. ... About these troubles, I've heard it said more than once: ''If you're not confused you don't know what's going on!" ... it's not *just* a quote from that film where Brad Pitt plays an IRA man!

  • the day the ira lost my respect its not polictical when your bombing your own country

  • @mrmagic1989 The IRA didn't carry out this. It was carried out by a break-away group of psychopaths who have no respect for the will of the majority of the people. The so-called 'Real' IRA are not the IRA.

  • I feel sick, sad and angry watching this again after all these years :( Scum.

  • I as a catholic and republican condem this

  • Evil Evil Evil people, who carried out that Evil Evil Evil action. Almost as Evil are those who are protecting the perpetrators. 

  • @ChaosDynamics SHUT UP FAGGOT ASS JEW YOUR MAD CAUSE THE BLITZ AND THE FACT HITLER COULDA EASILY DESTROYED BRITAIN BUT WAS TOO BUSY FIGHTIN THE RUSSIANS YOU QUEER

  • they should have attacked the soldiers not innocent civilians

  • IRA IRA IRA FUCK U BRITS HEIL HITLER

  • do any of u fukers live in NORTHERN IRELAND??? I have lived her for 50 odd years and i will never forgive the cowardly murdering bastards of the ira. so if u dont live here.... u havnt a fuking clue what ur talking about

  • BULLSHIT!! The "ruc" knew where the bomb was and move the civilians right into the danger zone.

  • @furley718 bullshit the RUC did not know where the bomb was they were tipped off it ws at the court house, Belive me i was one fof the soldiers on the street 10 mins after it had gone on off the bloke driving the car panic as could not find a unsuspiciuos place to park the car so he bumpped it at the bottom of the town thats where the confusion lied, i dont tatolly agree with ever thing that the IRA did but i do agree with some of it as i am from arepublican family, but served for british army

  • @furley718 and belive me i never fofget my irish roots even though i had to wear that shite uniform, and i souly hate the fact of the oppresion the brits put us under for so many years TAL

  • @jonga1972 I saw the ORIGINAL RTE report about 1 hour after it happened .

    There was a caption to the left of the news reader . It said "BOMB " 200 metres , court-house"

    Theyre the words the RUC woman wrote on her pad , who took the call.

    The message was OBVIOUS (theres a bomb 200m from the courthouse)

    THAT report was NEVER shown again

    It was stage managed by the RUC to cause MAX casualties, therby destroying the RIRA (which worked) because they were threat to peace process

  • @furley718 Do you remember the FIRST RTE report immediately after OMAGH ?( I think it was 6 o clock news)

    THAT report was NEVER shown again (or mentioned )

    BTW - Im referring to a post you wrote 5 months ago

  • The British Government later shit on the town of Omagh and its residents by closing the Tyrone County Hospital.

  • I have said many things about 'The Troubles' I have no real opinion about who is right or wrong but I want to say I don't want immigrants in my country unless they are willing to deal with what living in Scotland/Ireland means. I have to do what they say in their country, why don't they have to do do it in Scotland/Ireland/UK?

    Why do they not have to learn how to speak English and live like the rest of the population? My parents worked for 50 years for this crap?

  • @Sukkii25

    The Irish were banned form speaking their own language by the British.

  • @Sukkii25 what does their status as immigrants have to do with that?

    whether or not they are "willing to deal with what living in Scotland/Ireland means" has next to nothing to do with their status as immigrants.

    do you also suggest that we deport lazy natives, or indigenous people who are not "willing to deal with what living in Scotland/Ireland means"?

    if not, double standard.

  • i was visiting family in derry from canada and was supposed to meet a friend at the hospital in omagh on that day, but seeing as i take medication daily for my thyroid and forgot it in toronto we had to stop at a pharmacy to get a temp perscription when we came out an hour later we heard it on the radio, i could have been there when it happened, thank god i wasn't, but god be with the ones who did perrish, and line these bastards against a wall and kill 'em all.

  • The bodies of the bastards who did this should have been found dead in a ditch half eaten by rats. That's exactly what they deserve.

  • gerry adams sid that the real ira did not bomb omagh

  • @11madgavin Well he's talking fucking bullshit as usual then

  • @11madgavin he said the provisional ira didnt, because they didnt. he had no involvement in the real ira.

  • Ha the newsroom looked nicer there back then!

  • where the bomb was supposed to have been planted. Catholics and Protestants were injured and killed. The bomb completely backfired, uniting our town against all forms of terrorism. Recently another dissident group planted a bomb under the car of officer ronan kerr, it was his 2nd week on duty and he died, he was 24. That anyone would attempt to justify any of this is disgusting and you should know, Omagh remains united against terrorism. Does omagh care about a united Ireland? NO Does Omagh care

  • I am from Omagh, I was 12 when the bomb went off, it was actually my dad's birthday. Some of the comments on here have made me truely sick to my stomach and really offended. RIRA sent a message to the police saying that there was a bomb in main street omagh, by the courthouse. Omagh only recently got a main street, there wasn't one at the time. The bomb was at the crossroads at sedan avenue and campsie, the opposite end to the courthouse so the police moved people away from the courthouse

  • It is a beutiful county but it is populated by idiots called the IRA. They are such cowards and they deserve to die a horrible death.

  • @Sukkii25 i couldnt agree with you more mate. im an irish catholic citizen living in the north, and there is no way in hell that the ira are "freedom fighters" or "heroes." they are just plain murdering scum.

  • To be honest when innocent women and children die its no longer a war, in this occassion it was mass murder, i remember watching it as a boy and thinking it was disgusting and that feeling hasnt changed. Hopefully the worst is in the past.

  • Quote from the Godfather 'Why is such a country so violent' Really should of been talking about Northern Ireland!

  • its such a shame. i'm australian but i am of irish background. and my parents were on holiday in belfast at the same time it happened. shame that such a beautiful country such as ireland has to have its reputation tarnished by those IRA sacks of shit.

  • @HxCSounds Sacks of shit? They are Irish HERO's. If you mean the modern IRA, then yes, I would agree with you

  • The tears of a nation ran together...

  • As a believer, I find it amazing how little religion has to do with faith in God. The only common concept in Christianity is the Scripture.

    How many of you would agree that religion has been used as an excuse to kill around the world, not least one common island since 1916, or before?

  • today was an simaler bomb defused

  • The RUC were informed of the bomb's location 48 hours before detonation- they were then informed on three separate occasions (40 minute intervals) before detonation. Their the reason so many killed that day. The RIRA wanted to gain media attention for their cause not kill innocent civilians. Also- the 500kg bomb found in a van near Newry, the PSNI left the van unattained with a few cones surrounding it. Fucking useless- it's almost as if they wanted it to go off.

  • @KoopaKabana maybe the RUC planted it? What a cretin you are, seeking to justify the evil deeds of evil men by blaming the police. I hope God has mercy on you. If ignorance is bliss you must be one happy person.

  • @TheChrisg00 The killing of innocent people is never justified- no matter how great the cause- the RUC has blood on their hands the second the Omagh bomb went off.

  • @KoopaKabana Again, are you saying the police planted the bomb or hidden in between your words are you saying that evil Irishmen killing other Irish people is disgusting, and that they, and they alone are guilty of murder.

  • @TheChrisg00 When did I say the RUC planted the bomb? That's a ridiculous statement to come. The notoriously corrupt RUC were informed of its location and when it was primed to detonate on multiple occasions yet failed to act in an appropriate manner to minimise civilian deaths and casualties. If it weren't for the actions of the IRA and other republican movements particularly in in the 1970's and 1980's Catholics living in Northern Ireland would continue to be treated as second class citizens.

  • @TheChrisg00 Hearing that an 8 year old was killed amongst this atrocity is sickening.. The LVF were no saints. Always quick to focus your attention on the actions of republican movements yet never willing to condemn the actions of loyalist paramilitary.

  • @KoopaKabana I utterly condemn ALL Irish terrorists. On this occassion it was neither the LVF or the police who was responsible. It was a group of Irishmen who thought they could persuade other Irishmen that their future lay with a different political settlement, they chose to persuade not be rational argument but by killing innocent men, women & children, yet you choose to blame the police. In a word, your inept.

  • fuck rira they aint the real ira what so ever, the provos were freedom fighters but rira are just scumbags

  • this wouldn of happined if the british scum were not in our country blame them its war brits out now CIRA

  • @fitzy545 Great command of the English language there, is that some kind of protest....

    Prick...

  • @horriblemen same to you dont forget to die slow now

  • @fitzy545 So why bomb a high street full of innocent people?

    Why not man up and go and fight the police and army?

    I do love how people (Republican and Loyalist alike) make BS excuses for what is murder, plain and simple.

  • @theredraven what about sending out a drone which can track a human and then drop a bomb on his gaf???????????? kill his hole family then say woooops? go fuck your self

  • @fitzy545 What about you just shut up you silly little keyboard warrior. There's a reason people like you don't call the shots.

  • @theredraven so im rowin with a fella who thinks wrestling is real here go back to bed

  • @fitzy545 Well it is. It's scripted but when people break their neck, blow out their knees, lose teeth, you wouldn't say it was fake then.

  • @theredraven so know your talkin bout wrestling BRAIN DEAD!!!!

  • @fitzy545 You mentioned it first dissident lover.

    Tell me, are you a Republican dissident or a Loyalist dissident? I know it's two sides of the same piece of shit but do tell anyway.

  • @fitzy545 Let's see, Troubles, violent insurgency caused by resentment and discrimination to Catholics by Protestant Unionist government in Stormont which then turns into a near full scale civil war, with violence spilling over into both mainland Britain and the Irish Republic, involing Republican and Loyalist terror groups as well as alleged collusion by the RUS and British intelligence.

    What's World of Warcraft or Dog porn got to do with that?

  • @theredraven rus??? you mean ruc/psni dick head if you know so much or think you know that much which you dont brain dead fool what does CIRA stand for~~??? then tell me what side im on you fuckin freak iv looked at your page and seen the amount of freaks on your page and the shit you do be on do you actually believe you are in a magical land with elves and fairys??

  • @theredraven say what you want but your the freak not me people can see your page go watch your wrestling strange little person

  • I am a republican but the group who planted this bomb were the biggest bunch of fucking mongloids about, a true disgrace to the human race.

  • sorry about spelling but im typing to fast and so anoyed by some of the comments.

  • Q.How many priests does it take to organize murder? A.Two.

  • Comment removed

  • The R.U.C sent the people the wrong way ! The R.I.R.A did not send innocent ppl towards the bomb !!

  • @CorkCraicHead No, they just planted the bomb...U can make all the excuses u want, bt the fact is they planted the bomb and they didn't plant it for shits & giggles...Republicans shout & cry abt Bloody Sunday (1972) when 16 innocent people were killed, bt in Omagh, 29 innocent people were killed and what do we hear from people like u? We hear excuses and blame levelled at the RUC. If the IRA had flown planes into buildings, I am sure u would make excuses for them. Nationalism is for the weak.

  • @dtkd100 What about the 800 years of the English slaughtering Irish people.

  • @tmosm25 So the English can use Caesar's invasion 55-54 BC, the Roman occupation AD 43-410, the Angles, Saxons, Frisians and Jutes invasions between the 5th-6th centuries, Viking raids between 793-1066 and the Norman Invasion in 1066 (plus the Harrying of the North) as excuses. And how did that Welsh born St. Patrick first come to Ireland? Oh, that's right Irish raids on Britain for slaves. That should be enough history to justify anything bad the English have done...

  • @CorkCraicHead yes, it's never the ira's fault is it

  • @CorkCraicHead Oh so its the police fault. IRA plant the bomb but its the police whos fault it is.

    The bloody police did not know where the bomb was you tit.

    Honestly peole we should be brothers not enemies.

    There is far bigger problems in the middle east that is attempting to take over our cristian livelyhood and its them we should watch.

    We should be bonding together no matter what angle of christianity you may come from.

    The English have not always done the right thing but do not dwel

  • @CorkCraicHead You really are a terrible gombeen

  • I'm republican, but I gotta say "fuck the rira"

  • The British Gonvernment was involved in this bombing.

  • How did the other media outlets deal with this story - UTV, BBC, ITV, Sky News? Was normal programming interrupted??

  • @ateam22 I think on almost all stations they cut to this story

  • its really abit late to be sayin all dis shit...31 people died, yes and we all are saddend and hurt by that,and they wont be forgotten...but its not like that anymore people have moved on so get d fuck over it nd stop fightin

  • @sucka23454321

    If you feel that there is fault at both sides. Then please apply the same logic to the Jews of Nazi Germany, the Native Americans, the Black South Africans but you don't. Why is that?

    I will not agree to disagree with you! You just hold Irish people rebelling back against the oppressor in contempt. You have a very warped and bigoted view of the Irish/English conflict.

  • @sucka23454321

    If you believe that it did not explode until 1648. Then you got to ask yourself why? Maybe because for the previous centuries, hatred for the occupier and oppressor was simmering...building to explode from each rebel attack after another..... The Protestants settled on Irish land that was taken from the Irish unjustly. Whether you think the hatred was greater then. They put themselves above the Irish as occupiers & land takers. It was them who sowed the seeds of conflict & hate.

  • @sucka23454321

    The Europeans came to the land of America. The Native Americans fought back & slaughtered white Europeans. How is different from England bringing over foreigners and giving them land & homes that were belonged to the native Irish?

    The Warsaw Ghetto was one group of People fighting back against the racist government. The Irish marched for Equal Rights in '69 & the Unionists and Loyalists, the Protestant community. Severely & violently opposing Equal Rights for the Irish.

  • Religion, what a load of bullshit. I'm glad I'm an atheist. Fuck the lot of you.

  • @sucka23454321

    A Rebellion against what?

  • Comment removed

  • @sucka23454321

    Who murdered 10,000 people because of their religion?

  • @sucka23454321 Dont think it will be peaceful..Few weeks ago there was a interview in a paper and the RIRA & OHN said they will be around until the Brits leave Ireland.So i cant see a bright future just yet :(

  • Comment removed

  • @sucka23454321 Hope to god wee get a United Ireland by peaceful means.

  • @sucka234521

    If the USA invaded Canada and for 800yrs oppressed the Canadian people, starving them to death up to a million, making laws for the Irish that were similar to laws Hitler gave to the Jews known as the Penal Laws. Bringing over Americans to live in Canadian farms & the Canadian farmer & his family become tenants of the new American landlord. Fast forward to 1969 & Irish Catholics are not given equal voting rights by the Unionists & you want to say there is fault on both sides?

  • @sucka23454321

    They ‘Unionists’ werent Christians at all..Christians are ordered to love thy neighbour..Jesus doesn't ask believers He commands it...(Matthew 22:36-40)

    Massacres of Protestants was wrong but it wasnt the Irish Catholics who started it off.

  • I remember seeing people with pieces of glass stuck in them, from head to toe, one bloke covered in blood, he had glass in his chest and his belly.

    That was at the hospital.

    Before that I heard the blast, it was massive, it sounded like a thousand tonne steel hammer cracking against an anvil just as large. That's the best description I can give.

  • i was at the bus depot

  • People fail to see that the british killed innocent men and women centuries ago.The british would probably do the same but your gonna deny it and call me scum and all that.

  • @Drogsboy98

    Yeah so that justifies the omagh bombing. I doubt you would be saying that if your mother had died, prick.

  • @Forest1239879 I not saying I do not respect the people who died.I looked at your channel and you are English or from wales or Scotland and you might not get a detailed version of what the English did years ago. my mother died years ago in a car crash.I know it was tragic but it is the English who started this because of the innocents they killed and now the IRA are trying to get northern Ireland back to Ireland.And any country would do that.Even England.

  • @Drogsboy98

    I'm actually from Ulster, and my profile correctly states that i'm from the UK, of which Northern Ireland is a part. So you can't play that card on me.

  • @Forest1239879 I forgot about Northern Ireland when I was thinking of UK countries.I'm not trying to trick you or anything but if you are not a 12 year old and educated enough you would know that what the English did was wrong.I know you feel offended because a lot of attacks are taken place in northern Ireland.I don't support the IRA but I know why they are doing it.When you called me a prick on your first response you presumed I supported the IRA but like everyone else your gonna deny it.

  • @Drogsboy98 Key words 'centuries ago'.

    It was (the omagh bombing) a stupid stupid move made by stupid stupid people, it did more to turn people against them and demonise them than any politician could ever have done. Colossal morons. Short of announcing that every member of their group was a paedophile its difficult to imagine how they could possibly have lost more support or made their goals less attainable.

    Poorly educated, cretinous, fundamentalist nutjobs.

  • @ChrissyChiChi And your point

  • @Drogsboy98 I would have thought its blindingly clear? Reread your comment, then reread my response to it.

  • @ChrissyChiChi Your calling them fools just wanted to see if there was anymore points you had to make.

  • I remember I had just turned 10 when the bombs went off in Omagh. My parents and I had just left our family's house 20 minutes before the bombs went off. I remember the mention of children and parents shopping for school uniforms. That trivial aspect stuck in my memory as i thought about my school friends and i would have been doing the same thing on the same day down in Dublin. God bless the unjust victims of the bombings, Thank you so much for posting this

  • Seems to me that the bombing was the fault of...the bombers.

  • why kill people thats not goin 2 help, im ashamed 2 say im catholic these days,most of my friends r prodisants and i work 4 1,i went 2 an intergrated school and grew up in a mixed park people say moneys the root of all evil but i say religion is, there r better ways 2 get a point across der cowardly bastards the lot of them with nothing goin 4 them in life fucking cowards move on every1 else has ya cunts

  • This was a very stupid and senceless attack by individuals of the I.R.A not the constitusion of the I.R.A.

    the Organisation however, is filled with mostly freedom fighters.

    tiocfaidh ar la

  • @calBHA1 Individuals of the IRA are still IRA. You cant polish a turd. Such graceful freedom fighters who have killed thousands of men, women and children. Grow the fuck up. I'm a unionist and I can get along fine with nationalists, thats the way it should be. Remember we didn't ask for this turmoil. Many a family have been torn apart by the troubles and still to this day people, like you, still look at these murderers as "Freedom fighters."

  • @noonebelievesyou I would appreciate that remark if you weren't a unionist.Fuck off. Idiots like you cause these things.

  • @noonebelievesyou as i said before(youtube must be pro-cunt like you for not accepting my comments) if you were a normal bloke i would agree with you but seen as though you're a unionist all I have for you is contempt.If it werent for cunts like you in the first place this wuddna happened. bastard.

  • @bansheewhiskey Good way to direct your hatred pal. If it wasn't for "us" the ira wouldn't have to murder innocent catholics and protestants. Great comeback. Think about it, have a sleep, realise what you're saying, then come back with a relevant post.

  • @noonebelievesyou 'hatred pal'? If it weren't for scum like you hatred in Ireland wouldn't exist.Even the english don't want you.You're the typical spic bastard prod scumbag who isn't welcome anywhere.

  • @noonebelievesyou - This was a dark day i will never argue that, but of course the IRA are Freedom fighters, they are fighing for our freedom.

  • Send in the SAS to take out these bastards once and for all, if Sinn Fein complain then take them out to!

  • I know people who nearly died in this. One was a 6 year-old girl. May there never be war or terrorism ever again. May all beings find peace and happiness.

  • 12 years on!! RIP and godbless their families!!

  • Fuckers killed a lot of Catholics. That's the norm with these fags, republicans and loyalists alike. Fags!

  • up the reals

  • @joesheehan95
