What slowed the movements of the town? Who sent the ﬂowers’ lily fragrance in the air? Who touched lives and stripped feelings bare? Did you taste the acrid bitter aftershock? And did you note how time stood still round three o’clock? For how long will that young girl on the ﬁlm cry, “Where’s mum?” And why did day turn dark despite the sun? And in the weeks that followed did you ﬁnd That people here were careful to be kind? They held each other closer than they had, Protecting, guarding, shielding all from bad. For when evil came to visit from outside Flowers were placed as Omagh softly cried. Then the spotlight of attention moved away And dawn kept breaking each and every day. People went back to their work and shops still traded. A new and rather fragile peace pervaded. The weakest sought their comfort in the strong. They asked if we could ever right the wrong. The left behind and wounded tried to live And others learned to reach out and to give. Time moves on, so many years have passed But thoughts of loved ones linger, memories last. Who will tell the young of hurt felt on that day? Who will share with them the pain that can’t be said? The petals of the ﬂowers placed every year, Scented witnesses to those no longer here. 29 �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.

Yes (signed 29 March 2014) Description An account of the resource The Remembering 'Petals of Hope' project (2013-14) produced a collection of 15 audio visual and 23 written stories related to the Omagh Bomb (15 August 1998). 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).
