A British Labour candidate has pledged to launch a major parliamentary campaign to "uncover the truth" about the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings, if he is re-elected.

Mr Jeremy Corbyn, who is seeking re-election to the London seat, Islington North, said disturbing evidence which pointed to "the possible involvement of British forces" in the bombings must be thoroughly investigated.

Mr Corbyn insisted he would continue to press for inquiries into the deaths of Rosemary Nelson, Robert Hamill and Pat Finucane.

He also urged Labour to press ahead with reforms "to make Northern Ireland a truly democratic, inclusive society".
