A formal public appeal for information into the deaths of two young people in the Belturbet bombing in December 1972 was made by Gardaí this morning.
On the evening of the 28th, December 1972 three bombs exploded in Belturbet, Clones and Pettigo.
Patrick Stanley (16) and Geraldine O'Reilly (15) were killed in the explosion in Belturbet.
Last September, a senior investigating officer was appointed to lead the investigation, and an incident room was established at Ballyconnell Garda Station.
