I assure Deputy Smith that I will continue my efforts in order to ensure this issue can be progressed. On his recent visit to Belfast, the Taoiseach made clear the importance which this Government attaches to the issue of disclosure and co-operation in dealing with the legacy of the past. For the Irish Government and other State authorities, this means committing to co-operating to the fullest possible extent with all of the many legacy cases.

In this context, I assure Deputy Smith that I will continue to call on the British Government to provide access to an independent international judicial figure and to original documents in its possession relating to the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. I propose to take this matter up at an early date, once a Secretary of State for Northern Ireland has been appointed following the upcoming elections to Westminster.

Before the 41st annuiversary of these awful deeds, a new Secregtary of State for Northern Irelzand will probably have been appointed by a new British Government
