Oireachtas committee to hold hearing into Dublin bombings

The Oireachtas justice committee is due to hold a public hearing today into the circumstances surrounding two loyalist bomb attacks in Dublin in 1972 and 1973.

Three men were killed in the bombings, which happened at Sackville Place, off O'Connell Street, within 50 days of each other.

The Ulster Defence Association is suspected of carrying out the attacks, but nobody has ever been brought to justice.

Today's public hearing was arranged to discuss the findings of an inquiry into the bombings by Mr Justice Henry Barron.
