RTE Studio bombing |
The RTE Studio bombing was a bomb attack carried out by the Ulster Loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) in Dublin, Ireland. |
It was the first Loyalist bombing in the Republic of Ireland during The Troubles. |
In March and April 1969 the UVF and Ulster Protestant Volunteers (UPV) carried out a number of sabotage bombings and blamed them on the Irish Republican Army (IRA). |
The attack took place on 5 August 1969 at 1:30 am. |
The blast could be heard over a wide area of Dublin city, nobody was injured. |
The bomb is believed to have been planted at the rear wall of the studio building and not much structural damage was done to the building, accept for the shattering of glass panels. |
Later that morning all Irish daily newspapers had front-page coverage of the blast. |
This was the start of a Loyalist campaign of bombings in the Republic of Ireland that would continue until the mid 1970s, with the deadliest being the Dublin and Monaghan bombings which killed 34. |
On 19 October 1969, UVF & UPV member Thomas "Tommy" McDowell was electrocuted while planting a bomb at an electricity sub-station in Ballyshannon, County Donegal. |
He died of his injuries three days later. |
On 24 October, the UVF claimed responsibility for both the Ballyshannon and the RTÉ bombing. |
The statement read "the attempted attack was a protest against the Irish Army units still massed on the border in Co Donegal". |
The statement added: "so long as the threats from Éire continue, so long will the volunteers of Ulster's people's army strike at targets in Southern Ireland". |
Until then the Irish security forces believed the RTE bombing was the work of Irish republicans who had a grudge against RTE. |
The UVF carried out two more bomb attacks in the Republic that year: on the Wolfe Tone memorial in Bodenstown, County Kildare on 31 October, and on 26 December on the Daniel O'Connell monument in Dublin. |
Six months after the RTE bombing the UVF struck again at RTE. |
On 18 February 1970 it bombed a 240-foot radio mast on Mongary Hill, near Raphoe, County Donegal, putting the transmitter out of action. |
The mast had allowed RTE radio signals to be broadcast into Northern Ireland. |
The UVF claimed responsibility the next day. |
UVF sabotage bombings continued sporadically in the Republic throughout 1970 and 1971. |
