The article seeks to provide an overview of the way in which the Dublin and Monaghan bombings were remembered and retold, but also forgotten, in Don Mullan’ s book on the subject, published in 2000. In particular, it attempts to put together and to contrast the personal retellings by individuals involved in the events through the interviews published in the book, with the official silences, reticence and willed forgetting on the part of the state institutions involved: the RUC, the government of the Republic of Ireland, and the British government.

The article seeks to provide an overview of the way in which the Dublin and Monaghan bombings were remembered and retold, but also forgotten, in Don Mullan’ s book on the subject, published in 2000. In particular, it attempts to put together and to contrast the personal retellings by individuals involved in the events through the interviews published in the book, with the official silences, reticence and willed forgetting on the part of the state institutions involved: the RUC, the government of the Republic of Ireland, and the British government.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
