Colm Brophy (Dublin South West, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

I have taken note of the Senator's remarks, particularly in regard to the passage of time. The Government will continue to engage with the British Government to secure the implementation of the all-party Oireachtas motions on the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. Our position on the Dublin-Monaghan bombings is consistent with our approach to the legacy of the Troubles more broadly. Every family bereaved in the conflict should have access to an effective investigation and a process of justice regardless of the perpetrator. To achieve this requires a collective approach. We have set out this approach in the Stormont House Agreement. Progress on implementing a framework that is consistent with the agreement is critical to ensuring that these issues are dealt with comprehensively and fairly, and in a way that meets the needs of the victims and survivors, as well as society as a whole.

I again thank the Senator for raising the matter.
