Here are links to sites, including human rights bodies, activist groups, and online press reports, of relevance to the Dundalk families' long struggle for truth. Particularly interesting are links to two sites featuring the affidavit signed by the former RUC officer John Weir, who has alleged that fellow RUC officers participated in this and other Loyalist gun and bomb attacks against Catholics on both sides of the border during the 1970s. This claim has been supported by a still serving high ranking RUC officer. Weir's claim has recently been supported by an international independent inquiry of respected legal and human rights experts, sponsored by the Pat Finucane Centre, Derry. It has also been accepted by by an Irish parliamentary Joint Oireachtas Committee in its final report on the Dundalk bombing. Both inquiries found high levels of collusion between loyalists and UK forces in this and many other attacks during the 1970s at least.
