Normal mapping on Animated mesh?

I tried the Irrlicht engine and found that that it doesen't support normal mapping on animated mesh. So before I start again I just want to know if Ogre does.

It does :)

Yes (using tangent space normal maps), but if you use hardware skinning in your shader (and you'd be silly not to), your shader must remember to take the animated vertex normal into account when calculating the object-space-to-tangent-space transform.
