The Government has done everything it can, and will continue to do so, to get to the truth behind these terrible events. We remember the victims, survivors and all those affected by these barbaric attacks on 17 May 1974. We will attend commemorative ceremonies on Talbot Street and in Monaghan. I recently met Sir Iain Livingstone, the officer in overall command of Operation Kenova and the lead on Operation Denton, and who has been liaising with An Garda Síochána. My understanding is that An Garda Síochána has been co-operating with Operation Denton. I am hopeful that Operation Denton, the report relating to which will be published in the coming months, will provide more answers for the families of the victims of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings and other related incidents.

My view is clear. An Garda Síochána and our security forces have to provide material to the statutory processes that are on the way, as do British Government security sources-----
