Bombings report to be published after Ahern’s US visit

THE McEntee Commission report into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings will be published soon after Taoiseach Bertie Ahern returns from his St Patrick’s Day trip to Washington.

The Government received the long-awaited Final Report of the Commission of Investigation, chaired by the eminent criminal barrister Patrick McEntee SC.

The completion of the final report was delayed on a number of occasions by Mr McEntee following the emergence of new contacts during the investigation that opened up new leads of enquiry. Mr McEntee was appointed in April 2005.
