Ahead of the fiftieth anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings, the programme asks why no-one was ever brought to justice
Dublin-Monaghan bomb gang investigator says 'there was collusion'
The officer leading the inquiry into the activities of the loyalist gang suspected of being responsible for the Dublin and Monaghan bombings has said he has no doubt there was collusion between the gang and the British security services.
Sir Iain Livingstone heads up Operation Denton, which is examining allegations relating to the activities of the so-called Glenanne Gang, which was based in County Armagh and Mid-Ulster during the Troubles, including its role in the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.
There's been a lot on the radio over the past few days, but given the scale of the bombings in terms of civilian lives lost, its amazing how little has been said about it over the years.
I was in school in the 80s and 90s and it was a footnote in history class at best - there was certainly no in depth coverage or analysis.
It seems many people have been unhappy with the Irish state response to it - presumably in terms of pressuring the British government to investigate probable collusion. Why would the Irish state be reluctant to press the Brits about that though?

14 titles in a row.
"Thoroughly enjoyable win.
Time for the Meaths and Kildares to get up to Dublin's pitch" says John Casey
Quote from: Armagh18 on Today at 12:35:20 AMArmagh club leagues round 13 is 26th July and round 14 (final round) is 2nd August. Championship will be towards end of August. What are club players doing from March until Tyrone are out apart from playing 5 league games?I see they had some Jim Devlin cup competition running for seniors some slog for non county players to keep them interested without any meaningful games to do late in year.
Quote from: Armagh18 on Today at 12:36:28 AMThe Athletic Grounds are a credit to Armagh compared to a lot of places imo. A decent stadium is well worth the money.Agree to a point, athletic grounds is indeed a great venue. The problem is the plethora of oversized stadia, particularly munster. Every county should have one decent stadium in keeping with their needs.
Quote from: NotedObserver on May 16, 2024, 07:08:37 PMGalway got a point tagged on at a half time in ridiculous fashion, granted, the rules didn't cover the scenario, but I'll never forget the look of confusion and disbelief on Glass's face as the point was added.Quote from: JoG2 on May 16, 2024, 05:31:43 PMQuote from: Keyser soze on May 16, 2024, 03:21:02 PMQuote from: JoG2 on May 16, 2024, 02:21:28 PMQuote from: Keyser soze on May 16, 2024, 09:46:58 AMQuote from: lurganblue on May 16, 2024, 08:33:34 AMQuote from: armaghniac on May 15, 2024, 06:44:38 PMQuote from: Keyser soze on May 15, 2024, 01:53:39 PMNo version of Derry has ever beaten Galway in championship, you can be sure that will be a factor on saturday.
Janey, even Armagh has beaten Galway.
Derry wans trying their hand at the cute hoorism here? Sure Derry were in the big three talk with Dublin and Kerry not just a few weeks ago.
I would be more confident going to Kerry or Dublin and getting a result than I am about saturday due to our previous with Galway.
Out of those 3 Galway would be the 1 to choose on the road. This history v Galway will have no baring at all on Sat. I'd say at most 2 Derry players played in 2015 and will be involved on Sat. Pretty much all of them beat Galway in Salthill in March.
They bate us out the gate 2 years ago in AI SF in CP when most of this team were playing.
And a league result in March will have no bearing esp as Galway had so many out injured at that time.
PS I sincerely hope you are right.
This was much more defensive orientated Derry team in their 2nd year of development. The better team in the first half, beat by 5 after gifting Galway 6 points. Mayo v Donegal in 2013,now that was a team beat out the gate.
Again, playing Galway in Salthill, with this version of Derry will have much less a baring on this game than a potential injury crisis
Derry got a last minute goal to make the scoreboard respectable
