Bertie Ahern (Dublin Central, Fianna Fail)

Subsequent to the Barron report on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings and the Oireachtas joint committee's report, the Garda re-examined all the recommendations made therein. I am not certain whether that was completed or if the Garda made a report but I will check that with the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The Garda revisited the matter because, as Deputy Ó Caoláin said earlier, the difficulty with that investigation was that, while the bombings occurred in the middle of May, the official investigation closed in the middle of August of the same year. I will inquire of the Minister whether that investigation came to an end or if anything new came to light from it.
