Written answers

The bombings which took place in Dublin and Monaghan on Friday, 17 May 1974, were among the most tragic occurrences in the history of this island. Once again, I would like to express my deepest sympathies to those injured, their families and the families of those killed.

At all times, my officials ensure that all persons are treated in a respectful manner. While it would be inappropriate for me to discuss individual cases, I am assured that all applicants for assistance from the remembrance fund are being given the maximum support and assistance, in accordance with the scheme of acknowledgement, remembrance and assistance for victims in this jurisdiction of the conflict in Northern Ireland, and are being treated with all due respect, sensitivity and care.
