The Irish Independent, 22 July 2003:

AG is urged to reopen inquests into bomb deaths


ATTORNEY General Rory Brady was urged yesterday to order the reopening of inquests into the deaths of six people in the Monaghan bombing nearly 30 years ago, on May 17 1974.

The six were killed on the same day as multiple bomb attacks in Dublin.

The request was made by Monaghan Town Council after a motion in the names of all the councillors was unanimously carried.

The council requested that pursuant to Section 24 of the Coroner's Act - used recently to direct resumption of inquests into the deaths of the Dublin victims - a similar direction should apply in relation to those who died in the Monaghan attack.

Monaghan Town Council plans to erect a memorial to those killed in the attack.
