Second Barron Report may be published within four weeks

The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has told the Dáil that hopes the second report from the Barron Inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings will be published within the next four weeks.

The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern has told the Dáil that hopes the second report from the Barron Inquiry into the Dublin and Monaghan bombings will be published within the next four weeks.

Mr Ahern said he received the report in July, but its publication was delayed because the Government needed time to study it, was seeking clarification on an undisclosed matter and because "the legislation to allow for the commission" was not completed.

Thirty-three people died when loyalist paramilitaries detonated three car bombs in Dublin and one in Monaghan town on May 17th, 1994.

The death toll was the highest of any single day during the Troubles, but nobody has ever been brought to justice in connection with the incident.

There are also allegations that the British security services colluded with the loyalists behind the attacks.
