Why didn't the authorities in Dublin act? According to Jim Cusack in the Irish Times a test detonation which they knew about took place two weeks previously in the Cooley peninsula and the remainder was tailed to the border with South Armagh?

I have no idea why they didn't act. We've both agreed before that Dublin and London see NI as a thorn. Who's to say that Dublin didn't give a heads up to the Security Forces. Republican groups training in the Republic isn't all that uncommon. Their own little songbird gave them all the intel they could possibly use and they still refused to acknowledge it. I doubt if Dublin knew all the specifics that Kevin-boy did. If the body count had not been so high and foreign nationals not been killed this would have been swept under the rug like everything else that goes on here. There is no true justice here and I doubt if there ever will be. Until everyone can admit to wrong-doings and atrocities, things will continue on the same violent path.
