Dr. Kevin Cassidy, director of Irish studies, introduces "Omagh" (2004), a TV drama based on an actual bombing that took place in Northern Ireland by a group of Provisional IRA members opposed to the 1998 Good Friday Peace Accord. Omagh, a small market town of Protestants and Catholics that had lived in peaceful co-existence during the Troubles, suffered the death of 29 of its citizens from a car bomb that exploded on a busy main street. Among the dead is the 21-year-old son of Mike Gallagher, a garage mechanic played by Gerard McSorley. The story focuses on the effort of the father and others who suffered the loss of a loved one to find out why the bombers were never found and brought to justice. The award-winning film was co-written by Paul Greengrass, director of "Bloody Sunday" (2002), which was featured in the 2008 spring series and Guy Hibbert. Dr. Cassidy teaches "Northern Ireland: Politics of War and Peace." For more information, please contact Marion White, Irish Studies
