I have consistently called on the British Government to cooperate fully with inquiries which were established in this jurisdiction into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings of 1974. Both the Barron Inquiry and the Commission of Investigation in their reports commented on the reluctance of the British authorities to provide access to original documentation on security grounds and, of course, I regret that such material was not provided.
