"The people of New York City extend their condolences to the families of the victims of yesterday's terrorist bombing in Omagh, Northern Ireland. This cowardly act of bombing innocent men, women and children was intended to destroy the peace process that has given the people of Ireland so much hope over the past year. We hope instead that this act deepens the resolve of all the communities in Ireland to continue on the path to peace and reconciliation."
