www.irisoifigiuil.ieCaptain, is it really true that your Government doesn't publish Statutory Instruments on the Internet? I find that astonishing - they can't be secrets of State.

Actually, if you know where the house debates in full are, I'd be grateful for a URL, I've never even been able to find those.

I'm still trying to find any reference anywhere to the enquiry you're talking about.

And did I not see President Clinton was wandering around the Isle this week, talking with Saint Gerry?Yes, not that I'm interested in Mr Clinton. Rev Ian Pasiley told Mr Clinton to go back to the US and stop interfering in Irish affairs.

And it goes on:

The public inquiry into the death of Robert Hamill (25) who was beaten to death by Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR branch of the Security Forces in Northern Ireland) in Portadown, as he walked home after a night out with his family in April 1997, opened in Craigavon yesterday.

The British government agreed at that time to set up an inquiry into the murder, after the case was examined by former Canadian Judge, Peter Cory.

The European court of Human Rights will examine claims that British agents collaborated with Ulster loyalist terrorists in carrying out the Dublin and Monaghan bombings.

The Strasbourg court has told relatives of the 34 people who died in the 1974 blasts that it will begin an examination of the allegations next month.

A campaign group, Justice for the Forgotten, has alleged that Britain has withheld information from the Irish inquiries into the bombings because it does not want to reveal the extent of collusion between the Police in Northern Ireland, and army intelligence and loyalist gangs.

The court's intervention coincides with a new commision of investigation set up by the Irish Government and led by Patrick McEntee, SC.

Three car bombs exploded without warning in Dublin city, and a fourth in Monaghan town on May 17, 1974, killing 34 civilians and an unborn child, and injuring 258 people.
