I intend to raise the release of files on the Dublin Monaghan bombings by the British Government with Prime Minister Cameron when I meet with him over the coming weeks. The Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Charlie Flanagan also took the opportunity last week to remind the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland Teresa Villiers of previous commitments made to look afresh at what the British Government could do to respond to the Dáil motions in relation to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.
I met with Margaret Urwin of the Justice for the Forgotten Group last Thursday 21 May where we discussed the issue. My officials remain in ongoing contact with the Justice for the Forgotten Group.
