Brendan Smith (Cavan-Monaghan, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source

Thank you, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. As the Tánaiste knows, we had commemorations in both Dublin and Monaghan on 17 May last to mark the 50th anniversary of the deadliest day of all during the Troubles, when 34 innocent people were killed and 300 injured. On a number of occasions in this House we have requested the British Government to co-operate with a full investigation by giving access to all papers to an independent, eminent, international legal person to ensure those investigations can be advanced. There is clear evidence of collusion between the Glenanne gang and British intelligence. We have to make progress on these investigations.
