Families remember victims of Dublin-Monaghan bombings

A wreath-laying ceremony has taken place in Dublin in memory of the victims of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings.

Thirty-four people, including an unborn baby, died on May 17, 1974, in two bomb attacks - leading to the greatest loss of life in a single day of the Troubles.

The Barron report into the bombings, published in 2003, found that they were carried out by loyalist paramilitaries.
