Second Barron Report may be published within four weeks

The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has told the Dáil that hopes the second report from the Barron Inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings will be published within the next four weeks.

Mr Ahern said he received the report in July, but its publication was delayed because the Government needed time to study it, was seeking clarification on an undisclosed matter and because "the legislation to allow for the commission" was not completed.
