Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 13 January 2021
1. Deputy Jim O'Callaghan asked the Taoiseach if the papers and documentation generated by a person (details supplied) in their inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings will be handed over to Operation Kenova; and if not, the reason. [45184/20]
View answerMy Department has not received a request for assistance from Operation Kenova. We are prepared to be of assistance to Operation Kenova with its enquiries as far as possible, within the confines of the law. Any such request for assistance would be given full and careful consideration.
We are committed to working with the UK Government and the political parties in Northern Ireland to address the painful legacy of the Troubles. It is the Government’s firm position that legacy issues must be addressed through the implementation of the Stormont House Agreement framework, in order to support wider societal reconciliation, build greater community confidence in policing and meet the legitimate needs of victims and survivors in Northern Ireland and across the island of Ireland.
