The Irish Daily Star, 1 April 2004: Call for bombings inquiry in U.K. Dail committee reports findings. By Mick Browne. A public inquiry into the Dublin-Monaghan atrocities should be held in Britain, a powerful Dail committee urged last night. The Dail Justice Committee called for British authorities to appoint a senior international judge to investigate allegations of state collusion with loyalist bombers who killed 33 people, including a pregnant woman, in 1974. If the British government do not cooperate with the setting up of an inquiry, then the Government should initiate proceedings against it in the European Court of Human Rights, the committee said. They also said the judge conducting the investigation into the atrocities should have the power to recommend a public inquiry in either Britain or Ireland if he sees fit. The committee also called for the setting up of two separate inquiries in this country relating to the attacks. One should inquire into the original Garda investigation and why certain leads were not followed up, while another should look at how relevant files went missing from the Department of Justice. Atrocities Margaret Urwin, spokesperson for the Justice for the Forgotten group, representing many of the victims and families of the atrocities said last night: "The committee called for answers on why key Garda files disappeared, why the original Garda investigation stopped so quickly, why an armed British army officer acting suspiciously that evening in Dublin was allowed to leave on a ferry and known suspects never pursued. "And they have called for an international judge to be appointed. . . to be able to examine these issues across jurisdictions, just like Judge Cory with inquiries into other cases. "Their findings now put huge pressure on Bertie Ahern to ensure Tony Blair agrees to these measures being implemented." Margaret added: "Their findings now put huge pressure on Bertie Ahern to ensure Tony Blair agrees to these measures being implemented"
