48 people died and 214 were injured in the Artane nightclub fire, which broke out on Valentine’s night in 1981.

More than 800 people attended the disco that night and despite two inquiries into the disaster, nobody has ever been held responsible.

A fresh inquiry into the events of that night will take place later this year, following a lengthy campaign by families.
