Aftermath of the Belturbet Bomb, County Cavan, December 28, 1972

RTÉ Investigates – Belturbet: A Bomb That Time Forgot.

RTÉ Investigates writes:

In 1972, just three days after Christmas, a no-warning car bomb killed two teenagers and injured nine others in Belturbet County.Cavan. In a special documentary RTÉ Investigates uncovers a crippling lack of trust between police services north and south, questions the political will to bring those behind the Belturbet bomb to justice, and reveals new evidence that British security forces failed to act on credible information, allowing militant loyalists to operate freely in South Fermanagh.
