There were two other so-called no warning bomb attacks in Clones, Co Monaghan and Mullnagoad, Pettigo, Co. Donegal. “50 years have passed. Families have suffered indescribably.

A local man from Clones, Patrick McCabe died on 4 January 1973 when he fell from a roof that he was repairing that was damaged in the Clones bomb. His death left a widow and eight children without a father. “I ask them to make contact with the investigation team and to help An Garda Síochána get answers for the families of those killed and injured in Belturbet, Clones or Pettigo,” he said.The garda investigation is focused on identifying the person depicted in a photofit of the driver of the stolen red Ford Escort as compiled by the Garda at a checkpoint at Aghalane Bridge.
The description of the girl in the rear of the car was 18-19 years old, fairly tall, blonde hair coming down over shoulders, parted in the centre and pushed away from forehead, sharp featured, pale complexion, long dark overcoat , polo neck pullover.
