Loyalist bombers who blew up a Dundalk pub in 1975 were treated better than the families of the victims, it was claimed today.

THE British ambassador to Ireland yesterday refused to say if the British Government would co-operate fully with any future independent public inquiry into the 1974 Dublin/Monaghan bombings which killed 34 people.

A report into the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings is to be published without delay, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said today.

Relatives of people who died in one of the biggest atrocities of the North's Troubles today urged the Government to publish without delay the findings of an inquiry.

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern, yesterday said he found it extraordinary that the original Garda investigation into the 1974 Dublin/Monaghan bombings concluded in less than a year.
