The High Court has dismissed an claim by survivors of the Dublin Monaghan bombings that the handling of parts of a report complied by the Commission of Investigation into the atrocities amounted to a breach of the State's human rights obligations.

The Justice For the Forgotten group says the appointment of an independent international judge may help unlock the truth behind claims of British collusion in bombings in the Republic of Ireland during the Troubles.

The Irish Government betrayed the victims of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings by deciding on a private inquiry into the atrocities, relatives claimed tonight.

The Garda Commissioner should be called before a Dáil Committee and questioned about claims that a senior police officer stole files on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, a victims’ group claimed today.

The Justice for the Forgotten group will today remember the three victims of the Dublin bombings in the 1970s.
