A lawyer representing families of 18 victims of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings has warned the Irish Government that they will take legal action if gardaí do not cooperate fully with an inquiry into allegations of collusion by RUC officers.
The Police Ombudsman for Northern Ireland (PONI) is examining the activities of a notorious loyalist group, known as the Glenanne Gang, which has been linked to more than 120 murders during the 1970s.
Based in south Armagh, it consisted of members of the Ulster Volunteer Force, RUC and the Ulster Defence Regiment.
In addition to the Dublin and Monaghan bombings in 1974 its members have been implicated in the Miami Showband massacre in 1975, as well as bombings in Belturbet, Dundalk and Castleblayney, and dozens of murders in Northern Ireland.
