I can assure you that the families of Dundalk Bombing got no support, my father Hugh Watters was murdered in this bombing, we werent even informed by the Gardai my dad was dead , his three daughters searched for him , and when we eventually got to the Louth hospital we werent allowed in, and my sister climbed in the window at the back of the hopital to be told our dad was dead, then we had to go home and tell my mum.
The peace agreement gave me more heartache when the victims commissioner John Wilson told me that the knew who killed my dad, of course in all my innocence I said no you have the wrong bombing nobody was charged with my dads murder, he said did I ever hear about The Jackal Robin Jackson The Glennane Gang, I was absolutely stunned. I have been trying since for trugh and justice for my dad.
I am at present arranging a celebration of their lives 40years since the bombing 19thDecember 1975
were Jack Rooney and my dad Hugh Watters were murdered. What hurts me more is the Oirechtas Committe concluded in 2006 that their was collusion with their deaths, I would have thought theyd would have kept in contact with the families for updates of their progess of getting files from England., but not a word from them since, the certaintly rubbed salt into our woulds.
