Bomb survivors to take legal action against State

The organisation representing victims of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings is to take legal action against the State as part of its ongoing effort to find out the truth about the atrocities.

Justice for the Forgotten says it has been denied access to material about a man who stayed in a Dublin hotel on days prior to the bombings.

The organisation says the recent McEntee Inquiry into the 1974 attacks failed to report adequately in relation to this man.

33 people died when the UVF detonated three car bombs in Dublin and one in Monaghan on May 17, 1974.

There have long been suspicions that British military intelligence helped the bombers.
