Letters to the editor: I am still pursuing justice after the Dublin and Monaghan bombings

Tom Cooper feels fortunate not to have lost any family members in the four 1974 bombings — but he seeks justice for a close friend who lost her life in the deadly terrorist attack

Firefighters amid the aftermath of the bomb that detonated on May 17, 1974 near Guiney's shop in Talbot St, Dublin, which killed 23 people and seriously wounded 83 others. 

I was fortunate enough not to have any member of my family caught up in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of May 17, 1974.

However, a close family friend, a young wife, and mother of two children on her way to Connolly Station to catch her train home was one of the 33 innocent people who lost their lives that day.
