Families of bomb blast death teens demand inquiry

Families of two young teenagers killed when a 100lb bomb exploded almost 35 years ago in a small Cavan town today demanded a public inquiry.

The relatives of 15-year-old Geraldine O’Reilly and Patrick Stanley, 16, who were killed in Belturbet on December 28, 1972, said the state, ministers and gardaí have ignored their attempts to seek answers for over three decades.
