The bombings in Dublin and Monaghan on 17 May 1974 claimed the lives of 34 people.

A significant report covering the actions of a high level spy inside the IRA has found there was no collusion between the British state and Loyalist Paramilitaries in the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings

The Kenova report also revealed the spy committed crimes of the 'worst possible kind' including murder and torture

It's widely accepted Freddie Scappaticci was the agent, codenamed 'Stakeknife' who died in 2023 but has not been identified in the repot.
