The chair of the Omagh bomb inquiry has contrasted the actions of a teenage girl killed in the blast as she was volunteering at a charity shop with those responsible for the 1998 attack.

Samantha McFarland, 17, from Omagh, was described as “popular, diligent and a person who passed with flying colours the test of life”.
