About this listen

In Omagh, a car bomb kills 29 people, including two unborn children. It is the biggest single atrocity of the Troubles and comes just four months after the Good Friday Agreement is signed.


The peace holds… but the Omagh Bomb shows that Pandora’s Box of paramilitary violence opened decades earlier will not be straightforward to close.


Nonetheless, a new generation of Sinn Fein activists – untouched by the violence of the previous decades – are climbing the party's ranks.


But even after the arrival of peace, Republican communities across Northern Ireland continue to distrust the state, often with harrowing consequences… as Mairia Cahill is to discover.
