Tony Gregory (Dublin Central, Independent)

Has the Taoiseach had contact with the Justice for the Forgotten group, representing the relatives, since the publication of the majority report of the sub-committee of the Joint Committee on Justice, Equality, Defence and Women's Rights into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings? I am sure the Taoiseach has studied the sub-committee's report. Is he committed to holding a further inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings? Did the Taoiseach receive a response from the Prime Minister, Mr. Blair, when he mentioned the issue to him last weekend?

Does the Taoiseach agree with the statement issued by the Justice for the Forgotten group following the publication of the sub-committee report, that the next inquiry — and the group is convinced that their must be a further inquiry — must be effectively constituted to bring finality to this issue? Does he agree with the Justice for the Forgotten group that a firm timetable for action is required and that the Government should immediately engage with the families in agreeing the structure and elements of a properly constituted international human rights inquiry to bring finality to this issue?
