Here are links to sites, including human rights bodies, activist groups, and online press reports, of relevance to the Dundalk families' long struggle for truth. Particularly interesting are links to two sites featuring the affidavit signed by the former RUC officer John Weir, who has alleged that fellow RUC officers participated in this and other Loyalist gun and bomb attacks against Catholics on both sides of the border during the 1970s. This claim has recently been supported by a still serving high ranking RUC officer.

Here also, are links to sites of interest to similar and related campaigns for justice - Silverbridge, Dublin and Monaghan, and the family of Seamus Ludlow. These links will no doubt be of interest to anyone wishing to know more about these disturbing cases of British state terrorism on both sides of the Irish border during the 1970s.
