Dublin bombings report condemns lack of British co-operation

The Oireachtas sub-committee investigating loyalist attacks in the Republic in the 1970s has condemned a lack of co-operation from the British authorities.

The Oireachtas sub-committee investigating loyalist attacks in the Republic in the 1970s has condemned a lack of co-operation from the British authorities.

The condemnation is contained in a report published by the committee last night following hearings into two bombings that killed three people in Dublin in late 1972 and early 1973.

The report accused Britain of breaching its commitments under the Good Friday Agreement by failing to co-operate with investigations into the bombings and other loyalist attacks.

It also recommended that the Irish Government should take a case to the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg if the British fail to hold an inquiry into the atrocities.
