Bombings inquiry appeal to the public

The independent commission of inquiry into the Dublin, Monaghan and Dundalk bombings has launched an appeal to the public to assist with its investigations into the atrocities.

The commission, established a year ago under the late Chief Justice Liam Hamilton and now under the chairmanship of former Supreme Court judge Henry Barron, has already interviewed up to 20 people.

33 people died and more than 200 were injured in the blasts in May 1974.
