asked the Minister for Justice if any arrests have been made as a result of the bombing tragedies in Dublin and other parts of the State; and if he will make a statement on the present line of inquiry.

I would refer the Deputy to my reply to a similar question on 21st May, 1976—Volume 281 column 259 to 261 of the Official Report.
So far nobody has been made amenable for these outrages and I could not, in this or any other case, give any indication as to the lines of inquiry pursued since, quite clearly, the only persons who could benefit by such a disclosure would be the perpetrators of the crimes.
There is no prima facie case?
No.
Was the Minister informed by the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland or his assistant that those believed to have been involved in one outrage in Dublin were detained in Northern Ireland?
I have heard that rumour. I have no hard information on it.
It was not official?
No.
