'Some names to be blocked' in Barron report

Some names will have to be blocked out of a report into one of the biggest atrocities of the Northern Ireland Troubles to ensure their safety before it can be published, Bertie Ahern said today.

The long-awaited Barron report on terrorist bombings in Dublin and Monaghan on the same night almost 30 years ago, was presented to the Taoiseach last month and it is due to be handed to a joint Dublin parliamentary justice committee, expected to authorise its publication within weeks.
