The Dublin and Monaghan bombings were the single biggest atrocity in one day of the entire Troubles when 33 people were killed in bombings that Loyalist paramilitaries admitted they carried out, almost certainly with the collusion of the British Government. The Taoiseach should ask for Britain to release all the files and information available about those atrocities but he is in a very weak position to make such demands of Keir Starmer if the Irish authorities, and the Garda specifically, are refusing to give the files in their possession about those bombings, which the families of the victims of the bombings in 1974 have repeatedly asked for. Relatives of the victims of this atrocity have had to go to the High Court to try to get the Garda and the Garda Commissioner to share those; the Garda is refusing to give the Police Ombudsman of Northern Ireland and Operation Newham the files it has on the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings. That stinks to high heaven. It means we have no credibility asking the British Government, which we should, to release the files it has on its outrageous collusion with the paramilitaries who carried out those massacres but the Garda Commissioner, despite repeated requests and legal action by the relatives, will not give Operation Newham the files it has on the bombings.

Will the Taoiseach explain that and do something about it?
