Dublin-Monaghan Bombings
Dail Éireann — 2024-06-27
============================================================

Micheál Martin (FF), Cork South-Central

In the context of whatever happens after the British general election and a new government being formed, we stand ready to engage with a new government to press these issues and to get resolution to them. We have consistently raised the provision of original documents with my British counterpart since taking office. I recognise that governments have a responsibility to protect national security, but the passage of time since events took place also matters. That is the point I have made, and it is made in the report of Operation Kenova. The bombings in Dublin and Monaghan happened five decades ago, and I do not believe there is any reasonable excuse for continuing to prevent access to information and truth for the families after all that time.
