65 Mr. Barrett asked the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform if he has received a request from a group (details supplied) seeking a tribunal of inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974. [4353/99]
I have received a request for the establishment of a tribunal of inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings from a committee of victims and relatives of those killed or injured. The Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974 which resulted in the deaths of 33 people and injuries to hundreds were the subject of an intensive Garda investigation over a protracted period of time. Unfortunately, despite intensive inquiries, the Garda has not obtained sufficient evidence to warrant a prosecution being taken against any persons for these atrocities.
