Ahern must push Blair for ‘full public investigation’

THE organisation of victims and relatives seeking justice for the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings of May 17, 1974, Justice for the Forgotten, has won a twin-track response to the Oireachtas sub-committee’s recommendations.

A tribunal of inquiry into the garda investigation and missing government files and a full public probe by the British should be set up, say the victims of the 1974 atrocities.

It is now up to the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to move the issue forward, by announcing a tribunal will be convened before the inquest into the deaths of the 33 people who died in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. The inquest opens on April 27.
