§ Mr. Paul MurphyThe Government have always condemned the bombings in Dublin and Monaghan, and offers its sympathy to the families of the victims, whose pain still continues today. The Government have noted the report by the Justice Committee of the Oireachtas (Irish Parliament), following Mr. Justice Barron's investigation. We understand that the Dail and the Seanad will now debate the Committee's report and the Oireachtas will then make recommendations to the Irish Government. The British Government awaits the outcome of this process.
