No one has ever been brought to justice and TD Brendan Smith says they must never give up on seeking the truth.

Today marks 49 years since the Belturbet bombing.

On December 28th 1972, Geraldine O'Reilly and Patrick Stanley died after a car exploded on Main Street in the town, with twelve others injured.

No one has ever been brought to justice, and despite it being attributed to the UVF, the families have never got the truth about the perpetrators or alleged collusion.
