Written answers

Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform (Mr. McDowell)

I am informed by the Garda authorities that there is a record on Garda files of two taxis being hijacked in separate incidents on 16 May 1974, the night before the Dublin bombings, but it is not clear where either was subsequently taken.
