I was asked to ask this question by representatives of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings group. On 21 May 1975, the then Deputy Tom J. Fitzpatrick replied to a question in the Dáil and when speaking of an An Garda Síochána investigation into the Dublin-Monaghan bombings said: "They have no positive information or evidence that would clearly identify the culprits."

We know there were eyewitness accounts from the day placing a certain loyalist in a car in Dublin that day. His photograph was then picked out of evidence books. On at least one occasion, a Garda representative was present at an RUC interrogation of a loyalist in which names relating to the bombings were discussed.

In the 1993 Yorkshire Television "First Tuesday" documentary, journalist Philip Tibenham stated: "All Ministers on the Irish Government security committee interviewed by First Tuesday say they were never told the gardaí had any suspects for the bombings."

Go raibh maith agat.

This is my question, a Leas-Cheann Comhairle. The Government security committee was briefed by the Garda on the investigations into the bombings, during which members of the Garda briefed the security committee that it had no suspects. Will the Tánaiste hand over this information to the relatives when he meets them after the local elections? That is the information they are looking for.

There are a number of steps to this. I was at the commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary, which was very poignant and sad. Without question, we need to get answers for the relatives here, and it has to be done through a structured format. I met recently with Sir Iain Livingstone of Operation Denton, who took over from Mr. Jon Boucher. The publication of Operation Denton is important in this context. I hope it will shed further light on what happened on that terrible day, and in advance of and subsequent to it. I hope that will create a platform for further actions then by the two Governments in respect of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings. That is where I see it at the moment. I will obviously meet the families of the victims and engage with them in terms of how best we can move forward on this. In terms of our own State, that will include any information either the Department of Justice or An Garda Síochána have. That should, of course, be made available.

I thank the Tánaiste.

The Barron report identified that there was missing documentation from the British Government, which rendered it impossible to be conclusive in respect of it.

This was a question about the Government security committee.

We are way over time.

The McEntee report, which was also established, came to similar conclusions.

However, which gardaí?

We are way over time, Deputy. I call Deputy Feighan.
