Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin: We are now within a fortnight of the 30th anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings on 17 May 1974. While the focus on Mr. Justice Barron's inquiry is correct, I want to revisit my earlier question on a further report presented by Mr. Justice Barron on the murder of Mr. John Francis Green and the expected reports on the pre-1974 incidents which the Taoiseach outlined and the later...

- Twenty-seventh Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2004: Second Stage. (21 Apr 2004)

I charge the Government...
