Last night "RTÉ Investigates" very powerfully demonstrated the horror, trauma and tragedy of the killings of Geraldine O'Reilly, who was 15, and Paddy Stanley, who was 16, in the Belturbet bombings 48 years ago. Nobody has been convicted. To compound the grief further, the families have suffered further because An Garda Síochána will not disclose the contents of the reports of the investigation to the families because it is still considered live, which is utterly wrong 48 years later. As we know, the Belturbet bombing was later added to the interim report on the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.

I ask the Taoiseach today for a proper and full investigation into this atrocity, the murder of two innocent teenagers. It is never too late to do the right thing and full, open and transparent reports should be made available to the O'Reilly and Stanley families so we can bring peace to their minds.
