Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I recall the atrocity of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings very well and knew one person who was killed and that person's family. This issue has been a source of debate and questions in the House for many years. When I had the opportunity to visit Downing Street some weeks ago, I indicated to the British Minister this was an issue that would, obviously, be raised on the occasion of the Queen's visit. As a Deputy on the Opposition side of the House, I also raised with different Taoisigh the publication of files that might be available. This issue was investigated in some detail prior to publication of the Barron report. I also raised the issue with the Prime Minister when I met him and indicated I would raise the issue on every occasion I had an appropriate opportunity. I will speak with him tomorrow and raise the matter again.
