The Tánaiste has said that all Government held files in connection to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings should be released to inquiries, as he paid tribute to those who died in the blast on the 50th anniversary.

He made the pledge as Helen McEntee said the anniversary of the atrocity on Friday brought a new determination to find out what happened on May 17 1974.
