Relatives of those killed in the Dublin-Monaghan bombs in 1974 renewed calls today on the 27th anniversary of the atrocity for a resolution to the inquiry into their deaths.
Justice for the Forgotten, formed in 1996 to represent the relatives, has alleged collusion between loyalists and the British government in the bombings.
An independent private inquiry into the bombings was set up under Mr Justice Liam Hamilton and, following Mr Hamilton's death, overseen by Mr Justice Henry Barron.
A spokesman for the Barron Inquiry told ireland.comtoday that Justice Barron is in regular contact with Justice for the Forgotten, who provide "a constant flow" of new evidence to him.
The group were the main source of new information to the inquiry, he said, and this was all now under consideration.
The Barron Inquiry's report is to go before a public hearing of the Oireachtasjustice, equality and women's rights committee later this year.
On May 17th, three car bombs exploded in Dublin city centre, killing 26 people and injuring over 200.
Ninety minutes later, a car bomb in Monaghan killed seven and more than 40 were injured. No one has ever been charged with the bombings.
Justice for the Forgotten held a remembrance mass in Dublin’s Pro-Cathedral and wreath-laying ceremonies in Talbot Street and Monaghan Town centre today.
