Stardust Relatives Gather at Dublin Coroner’s Court

Stardust Families Relatives

Relatives of those killed and injured in the Stardust fire in north Dublin 40 years ago have spoken of their hope that a new inquest can answer their questions about how and why the tragedy happened.

Families gathered at Dublin Coroner’s Court this morning ahead of a preliminary hearing later this afternoon.

Forty-eight people died and more than 200 were injured when the blaze broke out in the Stardust nightclub in Artane on St Valentine’s night in 1981.
