Leo Varadkar (FG), Dublin West

I think 17 May 1974 was one of the darkest days in the history of the Troubles when a terrible atrocity was visited here in Dublin and on the people of Monaghan. In my meeting with the British Prime Minister, Mr. Sunak, about two weeks ago in Belfast, I raised the issue of legacy and our opposition to the British Government's proposals in that regard. I met him briefly over the weekend but did not have the chance to talk to him in depth but I will certainly continue to press the case against the legacy Bill. The next time we have a chance to meet, I will specifically raise the issue of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.
