Retirement (Barron Report)
Justice Barron retired in 2000. He was commissioned to investigate the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings. He took over from Justice Liam Hamilton who departed due to ill health. He investigated bombing incidents in Castleblayney, Dundalk, Dublin Airport, the Miami Showband murders and the deaths of eighteen other individuals. His report, termed The Barron Report and demonstrated before the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Justice in December 2003, was damning as per the investigation into the bombings by both the Fine Gael/Labour government and the Gardaí. He thought they might have made a better attempt to stop it from happening. He did not lay any definitive blame with the British government.
