Calls for a fresh inquest into the McGurks Bar Bombing in Belfast have been rejected by the Attorney General.
15 Catholic civilians including two children were killed in the UVF blast in December 1971.
Gerard Keenan, whose parents Sarah and Edward Keenan were both killed in the bombing, said "This is yet another devastating blow to family members who have campaigned for truth and justice for two generations.
"At no stage up to the present day have our families been able to rely on a just, fair and transparent police investigation. We have had to discover and retrieve new evidence regarding the McGurk’s Bar Massacre ourselves.
Adding that, "We will be asking our legal representatives to consider the decision taken by the Attorney General and we will seek clarification on certain matters from him in the coming days."
