I’VE met Royston Brady only once, briefly, before he became the poster-boy for failure. And I feel guilty as hell towards him.

ROYSTON BRADY was roasted during the week for supposedly trying to grab the sympathy vote over his claim that his late father, a taxi driver, was kidnapped by the Dublin bombers of 1974.

HAVING been denied justice for close on three decades, the relatives of victims of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings deserve nothing less than a sworn public inquiry into the atrocities.

A new memorial garden will be officially opened in Glasnevin cemetery in Dublin today in memory of those that died from bombings in the Republic during the 1970’s.
