Further calls on British government to co-operate in investigations into Belturbet, Monaghan and Dublin bombings have been echoed by Deputy Brendan Smith.
Cavan/Monaghan Fianna Fáil TD Brendan Smith has again raised the need for the British government and Northern Ireland Authorities to co-operate fully into the investigations concerning the fatal bombings in Belturbet in December 1972 and in Monaghan and Dublin in May 1974.
On 28 December last in Belturbet, County Cavan, the 50th anniversary of the bombing in the town that caused the death of two young teenagers, Geraldine O'Reilly and Patrick Stanley.
Next May will mark the 50th anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, when 33 innocent people were murdered and hundreds were badly injured on that fatal day. That day, 17 May 1974, was the darkest day of all during the era known as the Troubles.
Ronan Gargan has been speaking to Deputy Brendan Smith about his most recent calls.
