Bombings report ‘pulls no punches’

THE Barron Report into the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings will be a “hard-hitting” document that will “pull no punches” in its findings.

Informed sources said Mr Justice Henry Barron’s long-awaited report, which runs to 380 pages, will lay down the clearest possible findings on the circumstances surrounding both atrocities, which claimed 33 lives.

The sources said the report would go a long way towards addressing the issues of who was involved, whether or not there was collusion between the loyalist bombers and British security sources and what authorities here and elsewhere did and did not do leading up to and following the bombings.
