Forgotten victims of a hidden massacre

IT IS little wonder that the Dublin/Monaghan bombings of 1974 were known by relatives of the 34 dead and 250 injured as the Forgotten Massacre.

Forgotten by the Fine Gael/Labour government (and successive Fianna Fáil governments), forgotten by the gardaí, forgotten by the media and forgotten by the Irish and British establishments.

However, following the Barron report, this biggest murder in the history of the Irish state might be known more accurately as the Hidden Massacre.
