Written Answers. - Dublin-Monaghan Bombings.
I am advised by the Garda authorities that their investigation file remains open in this case and that any developments will be pursued. The Deputy will be aware that the Government decided in principle in September 1999 to establish an inquiry into this case as well as into the bombings in Dublin, Monaghan and Dundalk. Mr. Justice Barron subsequently agreed to undertake the inquiry which would be carried out on the same basis as the inquiry into the Dublin/Monaghan bombings. I understand that Mr. Justice Barron has commenced his examination of this case and will report after he has reported on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.
