Aftermath
On 25 March 1993, thousands gathered in Dublin, the capital of the Republic of Ireland, to demonstrate against the IRA, signing a condolence book outside the General Post Office – the scene of the start of the Easter Rising against Britain some 77 years before – and laying floral bouquets and wreaths to be taken to Warrington for the funerals of the dead. On 1 April, the Irish Government announced measures designed to make extradition easier from the Republic of Ireland to the United Kingdom.
In 1994 Irish rock band The Cranberries released the song "Zombie", which was written as a protest to the bombings. The song went on to become one of their biggest hits.
The parents of Tim Parry set up the Tim Parry Trust Fund to promote greater understanding between Great Britain and the two parts of Ireland.
