Legal action is being taken against a former suspect in the IRA bombing of London’s Hyde park in the eighties.

The families of soldiers killed in the attack in 1982 have told The Sun that they want Justice for their loved ones.

Kilrush Native and convicted IRA member John Downey was charged with the murders four years ago, but the case against the Donegal man collapsed on account of Government officials mistakenly sending him a letter in 2007.

The letter was sent as part of the On The Run Scheme and told him he was no longer a wanted man.

Four soldiers died and several others were injured as a result of a car bomb, as they rode through Hyde Park on the day of the attack.
