  • Family of Kilkenny man killed in 1975 Dublin Airport bomb call for renewed investigation Murder (bomb attack) · Co. Dublin

    A bomb exploded at Dublin Airport in November 1975, killing John Hayes, a baggage handler from Coon in rural Kilkenny, and injuring eight others. No arrests or charges have been reported. On 22 October 2025 his family called for a renewed garda investigation, a plaque at the airport and a memorial, and a memorial service is planned for 28 November at Dublin Airport Church. The incident is among those examined by Operation Denton, an independent UK police inquiry whose report on a UVF-linked group is expected.
