The attack claimed the lives of 12 people and injured more than 60 others in November 1987.
In Dublin, President Michael D Higgins attended the annual service of Remembrance at St Patrick's Cathedral.

Speaking in Enniskillen, Mrs Foster said she hopes talks with Sinn Féin will continue with the aim of restoring power-sharing in Northern Ireland as quickly as possible.
Tomorrow, Mr Brokenshire will introduce Westminster legislation to pass a budget to run public services in the absence of a devolved government in Belfast.
But Mr Brokenshire said Westminster does not want a shift back to direct rule.
"There are steps that sadly are having to be taken, not what I would want to be doing. We must remain firmly focused on getting devolution restored and seeing locally elected politicians getting on with the job serving the people of Northern Ireland," said Mr Brokenshire in Enniskillen.
