Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein)

The Government and its predecessor both undertook to raise with the British Government and its representatives the all-party motion relating to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings which was reaffirmed by the Houses last May. I understand the Tánaiste is meeting later today Mr. Owen Paterson, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland. Will he indicate if he will use that opportunity to reflect the sentiments of the House and the unanimous demand of all parties and Independent Members that the British Government fully co-operate in the release of all information and, with the Government, ensure there is a full, independent judicial inquiry into all the information surrounding the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 17 May 1974?
