On the afternoon of Saturday the 15th August 1998 at 3.10pm a car bomb exploded in Market Square Omagh killing 29 people and two unborn children as well as injuring 370 people. It remains the largest loss of life of any single incident in the history of the Northern Ireland troubles. This handcrafted dove perched on an Arc was presented to the people of Omagh with hope for their future from the staff and pupils of St James Street CBS Dublin.
