Inquiry sought on anniversary of bombings

RENEWED calls for a full international public inquiry into the Dublin Monaghan bombings were made yesterday on the eve of the 30th anniversary of the atrocities.

"On this the eve of the 30th anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings our thoughts are with the survivors and the bereaved of that terrible day, May 17, 1974. The dignity of the survivors and the bereaved and their tenacity in their campaign for justice is an inspiration," Deputy Ó Caoláin said.
