Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin (Cavan-Monaghan, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Forty-four years ago today, the most terrible atrocity in terms of lives lost during the years of conflict that then raged was visited upon the citizenry of the city of Dublin and my home town of Monaghan. The Taoiseach is meeting British Prime Minister Theresa May today on the sidelines of the EU summit in Bulgaria. Will the Tánaiste advise if the Taoiseach will reflect on the fact the Dáil has on two occasions unanimously agreed to request the release by the British Government and its agencies of all relevant documentation regarding those attacks and that to date there has been only refusal and denial? Will the Tánaiste contact the Taoiseach and urge him to raise the repeated requests of this Parliament at today's meeting with the British Prime Minister? Will the Tánaiste and Taoiseach undertake to press this matter at every opportunity, mindful of the passage of so many years and the need for full disclosure in order that truth and justice can be achieved in memory of the victims, the surviving injured and the families directly affected?
