Today is the 48 anniversary of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. 33 civilians, mostly young women, and one full term unborn child were murdered by The UVF. Despite overwhelming evidence of British state involvement nobody has even been charged.

1. Every year since Kenny attended the Enniskillen bombing atrocity memorial a Taoiseach is expected to attend it. No British PM has ever attended a memorial for this atrocity. Is there even an official annual memorial?

   If you want to understand the utter distortion of our national self perception by pro unionist and pro British interests today is the day to open your eyes.

2. And realistically Talbot Street never recovered from it. Was once a great shopping street

3. ‘Because of overwhelming evidence of British state involvement nobody will ever be charged ”

   Ftfy

4. Every cunt who was involved in murdering innocent civilians should be locked up and the key thrown away. Either side. And no matter how high up they go

5. Madness. Didn’t know the extent of those attacks. Irish gov wud never have the balls to bring this up the only ones who would is probably Sinn Fein to be honest and I’m not one of their advocates

6. The initial Gardai inquiry into this was cut short on request of the Fine Gael government at the time

7. Whenever the British government talk about terrorism or state sponsored terrorism I think about this, the British State is a terrorist organisation and will continue to be unless the day every comes that they are held to account and take responsibility for their crimes against humanity.

8. 48 years ago, my dad in his early twenties, missed his bus home from Donegal to Dublin after a week out fishing. What he thought was the end of the world because his time off was now shorter was actually what didn’t end his world that day in Monaghan

9. Obviously the brits wouldn’t implicate themselves in state collusion with paramilitary forces..that would mean every paramilitary murder in the North against catholics would have their finger prints on it..as usual they do what they like with zero accountability

10. What’s the overwhelming evidence?

11. And another point on this, the Glennan Gang were most likely highly responsible for the attack, and had investigations into them shelves and disrupted by a team in the RUC which included Drew Harris

12. A United Ireland with a strong Sinn Fein presence would have to lead to a full review on this case. MI5 were balls deep in this and it would be great to get names before they all die.

13. There’s probably State Papers with the names of the killers, their handlers and collaborators.

14. Over whelming evidence of British state involvement 😂😂😂 is this in the same way the Irish state was involved with the IRA?

15. My parents moved into their house in Dublin that day. My Mam said that she was thinking to go into Talbot St for some things for the house, but decided not to. Thankfully so as I wouldn’t be here.

16. Mad stuff two years before bombing in belburbet clones and pettigo.

17. The Glennane Gang British forces

18. My Nan was pregnant with one of my Uncles when this happened – Grandad was driving the Buses at the time and he was so late getting home she was worried the worst had happened, but he was just delayed. Whenever she was annoyed at my Uncle she used to tell me that something was wrong with him because of all the stress she went through that day.

19. [The Toubles Podcast did an episode on these bombings](https://open.spotify.com/episode/18lNPdpLNoqm9x1wMyC7yb?si=-EhTXFQ5TBWzfmTVIz3Vxg&utm_source=copy-link)

20. It was that evil bastard Robert Nairac who was involved.

    Also up to his neck in the Miami Showband massacre.

    It was a good day the day he was turned into sausage meat.

21. Brit here, I’d like to read more on the UK government’s involvement but don’t know where to start. Could somebody help?
