Blasts victims’ families urge Government to press for international inquiry

FAMILIES of those killed and injured in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings have called on the Government to press for a full-scale international inquiry into the atrocity.

Solicitor for the Justice for the Forgotten Group Greg Neill yesterday said there was a “burden of responsibility” on Irish politicians to bring the inquiry onto an international stage. He said that now was the time for the Government to show “political courage” on the matter.

Mr O’Neill was responding to the startling outline in Justice Henry Barron’s Report into the 1974 bombings, that revealed an extraordinary lack of co-operation by the British authorities to the inquiry team.
