Director Joe Lee, Justice for the Forgotten group member Margaret Urwin and survivor Brenda Lee joined Off the Ball Breakfast to discuss the new documentary about the Dublin Monaghan Bombings which resulted in the greatest loss of life in any single day of the Troubles, as they still seek justice for those lives lost almost 50 years ago.

Disgusting what happened, disgraceful that nobody was held accountable and worst of all absolutely shameful that our spineless gutless Government buried it and still do. This was Loyalist Paramilitaries with British security service who carried this out.
Because it was backed by the British security forces. Make no mistake it was a British attack on Ireland.
The British government got their reply when the Birmingham bombs went off They are 50per cent guilty
Definitely British MI5 was involved in this atrocity.
Many Ulster Unionists too
17/5/74 RIP.
Was halfway across the atlantic on the MV Irish Star and we got word about the bombings and that the sister of one of our crew had been killed.you can imagine how he suffered for the next 4 days until we reached the USA and he could finally fly home.
I was in town with my mom and dad we saw the ambulance and when we got home it was on the news if we had parked the car outside boyers we would have been caught up in it but there was a bus strike on and we parked in Henry Street them days u could park there
Sadly the irish government at the time didn't pursue the killers
Because they resided in Westminster.
Secatarian massacre turned the Republic of Ireland off rejoining British Commonwealth 😢
