Barron report expected to be published on Wednesday

The long-awaited Barron Report into the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings is expected to be published on Wednesday.

Mr Justice Henry Barron was appointed by the Government to investigate the loyalist attacks, which killed 33 people on May 17, 1974.

There have long been allegations that the British security services helped the loyalist paramilitaries who detonated three car bombs in Dublin and one in Monaghan within the space of 90 minutes.

A Dáil motion to pass the Barron Report to the Oireachtas Justice Committee is scheduled for Wednesday and the report is expected to be published on the same day.

Sections of the report - including the names of those suspected of wrongdoing - are expected to be blacked out in the version released to the public.
