Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper has apologised to the families of the victims of the Air India crash.
Mr Harper made the apology during a memorial service in Toronto in Canada.
He said 'we are sorry' to the families of the victims, 'that some wounds are too deep to be healed even by the remedy of time.'
The apology comes a week after a report blamed a series of errors by the Canadian government, the police and the country's spy agency for failing to prevent the disaster.
The prime minister said that the report was a damning indictment of what occurred before and after the tragedy, including the scant respect given to the victims' families.
Mr Harper said his government would act positively on the recommendations but he did not deal with the issue of compensation.
329 people, most of them Canadians, were killed when Air India Flight 182 blew up off the coast of west Cork on 23 June, 1985.
It is regarded as the single worst act of terrorism in Canadian history. Only one person was ever convicted in the case.
