You know, you wouldn’t just keep it. And that was £250,000 and nobody complained about it. Well, we complained about it but nobody listened to us. My complaint is not just about the mirrors; I think the garden itself is very clinical. It would remind you maybe of the war graves that you get in France for the First and Second World Wars where its all granite and you go there and you pay your respects and leave. But the garden we had earlier, you had trees in it and you had chairs in it. Wildlife came into it. It was a more natural space. Some people hung pictures of their dead on the wee tree, you know, and you could just sit there, it was so peaceful. And then they made it into that. We went to the meetings and we tried to get them to make it just like a rose garden, you know, nice. They wouldn’t hear tell of it. They did what they wanted; they didn’t do what any of the people wanted for a memorial. We sat on the Memorial Working Group for eight years, we made several suggestions. Where that glass obelisk is, all we wanted was a small plaque. Actually there is a small plaque on the wall, just to mark the spot. We just wanted the same type of garden enlarged, a wee bit bigger, so that we could have room for everybody but for what reason, I don’t know, they refused us. But I think that’s been very true about a lot of things that’s happened in Omagh, we’ve never had the common touch. 22 �This publication has received support from the Victims Support Programme for Groups Working with Victims and Survivors, which is administered by VSS on behalf of the Ofﬁce of the First and Deputy First Minister.

The work involved in conducting the interviews and producing the recordings was carried out by Carole Kane and Malachi O'Doherty. Carole Kane, a freelance artist / community arts facilitator, was involved in the original 'Petals of Hope' project (1998-99) in association with Omagh District Council, which, with the assistance of children from Omagh, transformed floral tributes left at the scene of the bomb into handmade paper and art work. This resulted in an exhibition in the spring and summer of 1999 and the publication of the exhibition catalogue entitled 'Petals of Hope' (1999).
