The bombing killed 29 people (including a woman pregnant with twins) as well as injuring some 220 others, a death toll even higher than that of any single incident during what were considered 'the Troubles' (1968-10 April 1998).

The Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) issued an immediate denial of responsibility, and later claimed that "an internal court of inquiry" had found that its local unit did not carry out the attack.
