A small event has taken place in Dublin to mark the 52nd anniversary of the Dublin-Monaghan Bombings.
In a four-minute period on 17 May 1974, three explosions rocked Dublin's Parnell Street, Talbot Street and South Leinster Street. Another followed 90 minutes later in Monaghan town.
A total of 34 people, including one unborn child, lost their lives while hundreds more were injured.
No-one has ever been convicted over the bombings but the loyalist Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) admitted responsibility in 1993.
It remains the biggest loss of life on any single day of the Troubles.
This afternoon, survivors and bereaved family members gathered at a monument to the victims on Dublin's Talbot Street.
The names of all those who lost their lives were read out while several bunches of flowers were left at the foot of the monument.
Earlier, a wreath was also laid at the bomb site in Monaghan town.
A major report last year found no evidence of collusion on the part of the British state in the 1974 Dublin-Monaghan bombings.
There had long been a suspicion that the UVF would not have had the necessary expertise to carry out such a co-ordinated attack in two places on the same day.
Speaking after the event, Margaret Urwin of The Justice for the Forgotten Group called it 'a sad day' as families were 'left in limbo' awaiting a full account of what happened 52 years ago.
Ms Urwin said families are still awaiting the full publication of the Operation Denton review of the atrocity - which has been stalled due to legal proceedings.
The report had been due to be published before Christmas.
Sinn Fein Leader and Dublin Central TD Mary Lou McDonald called on the Government to do more to ensure the British Government releases all information it holds on the bombings.
"For fifty-two years, families who lost loved ones and survivors of the Dublin and Monaghan Bombings have courageously campaigned for truth and justice. The government must intensify efforts to ensure British State agencies release all information and documents in relation to the bombings.
"These heartbroken families have been stonewalled for more than five decades. They deserve answers. They will never give up and we will stand with them as they continue their brave fight", she said.
