Dáil to debate collusion in Miami massacre

THE Dáil is poised for a full debate on British security force collusion in some of the worst atrocities of the Troubles, it was confirmed yesterday.

Taoiseach Bertie Ahern told hundreds of people at the unveiling of a memorial in central Dublin to three men murdered in the Miami Showband massacre that the killings will be officially raised in February.

Musicians Tony Geraghty, Fran O’Toole and Brian McCoy were killed in a hail of bullets by the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force in July 1975 after a planned bomb attack backfired outside Newry, Co Down.
