Sinead O'Connor, U2, Enya for Benefit Album

A special Sinead O'Connor remake of Abba's "Chiquitita" is one of the main highlights of a new charity album being issued for the benefit of the bombing victims in Omagh, Ireland. The previously quiet town of Omagh saw twenty-nine people die and hundreds more injured in a car bomb attack initiated by a group of Irish Republican Army dissidents last summer.

British music trade publication Dot Music reports that the album, titled "Across the Bridge of Hope," will also feature tracks from other Irish bands including U2, Boyzone, The Corrs, Ash and Enya. The record also sees input from the Omagh Community Children's Choir and the Ulster Youth Orchestra on the title song. The project will be released in the UK on November 30 and will include a video for the O'Connor track.

According to Dot, the organizers are also looking at the idea of an American version also to support the victims of the August 15 bombing.
