The father of one of those killed in the Omagh bomb attack has spoken of the toll that years of campaigning had on his life and family, saying he wanted to put faces to the victims.

Michael Gallagher’s son Aiden was killed in the 1998 dissident republican car bomb which exploded in the centre of the Co Tyrone town on a busy Saturday afternoon.
