There will be a lot of people over and above the soldiers / British Government who will be glad to see this brushed under the carpet.

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?

Simply put, it was totally down to the lack of interest by  the toxic sludge  FG/Lab coalition government of the day to do anything other than exploit it for their own interests.
