Abstract An examination of the evidence favouring the detection of gamma rays from the irradiation of giant molecular clouds by cosmic rays is given. Data relevant to specific nearby clouds are studied in some detail and the evidence favouring some of the so-called gamma ray sources being due to the irradiation of these and more distant clouds is critically assessed. The need for enhancement of cosmic ray intensity in some clouds is discussed. The relevance of this work to interpretation of current and planned X-ray measurements as well as future gamma-ray space missions is discussed.
