A lawyer representing families of 18 victims of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings has issued a warning to the Irish Government regarding the lack of cooperation by gardaí in an inquiry into collusion by RUC officers. The Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI) is investigating the activities of the Glenanne Gang, involving over 120 murders in the 1970s, with alleged links to the RUC, UVF, and UDR.
Despite not being charged, the gang’s involvement in various bombings and massacres, including the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in 1974 remains a contentious issue. An ongoing investigation by the ombudsman has been hindered by An Garda Síochána’s failure to share crucial intelligence with the inquiry.
The situation has prompted legal threats from the victims’ families’ lawyer, Kevin Winters, to take action if the material is not provided promptly. The British and Irish governments have been called upon to ensure full transparency in the ongoing investigations, emphasizing the need for justice and closure for the families affected.
