Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council launch public consultation about Coleraine Bomb Memorial

Wed, November 25, 2020

Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has commissioned a consultation to gauge public opinion on the installation of a structural memorial to those who lost their lives in the 1973 Coleraine bomb.

The consultation is being undertaken by independent consultants Dr Máire Braniff and Dr Lisa Faulkner, of LJ Consultancy.

In 2018, ahead of the 45th anniversary of the bomb, Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council passed a notice of a motion that council ‘give consideration, following appropriate consultation, to the erection of a permanent memorial to those who lost their lives as a result of the Coleraine Bomb in 1973.’

The consultation will remain open until January 4th 2021.

The consultants are seeking to engage with the families of the victims, those who were injured and all others with an interest. The findings of this consultation will be presented to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council for consideration.
