Survivors and relatives of those killed in the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings handed in a letter to Downing Street yesterday demanding the British government's full co-operation with the inquiry into the atrocity.

Five months after the Northern Secretary, Dr John Reid, confirmed that all requests for information would be considered, relatives and survivors insisted that the Independent Commission of Inquiry in Dublin had still not received any response.

After the letter was handed in at Downing Street the relatives met backbench Labour MPs Mr Kevin McNamara and Mr Jeremy Corbyn and the Liberal Democrats' spokesman on Northern Ireland, Mr Lembit Opik.
