Jim O'Callaghan (Dublin Bay South, Fianna Fail)

I thank the Deputy for identifying that the 50th anniversary of the Dundalk bombing is coming up. Regrettably, nobody has been brought to justice for those murders. Technically, it is an ongoing Garda investigation but the reality is that we are going to have to try to get some mechanism to deal with this and others as legacy issues. There are ongoing discussions between the Irish Government and the British Government as to how to best address legacy issues. It is certainly the case that the Dundalk bombing would come within the parameters of the types of events that need to be investigated. I will keep the Deputy apprised of any developments on that.
