‘The Last Disco’ brings the story of the Stardust fight for justice to a conclusion

Their love undimmed and their resolve unbroken, families of the Stardust victims kept going, writes Sean Murray

Family and friends of the Stardust fire victims at the Coroners Court inquiry into the tragedy at The Rotunda Pillar Room in Dublin. Their love undimmed and their resolve unbroken, they kept going and going until that fateful day in April when they heard the words 'unlawful killing'.

NOBODY who was in the room that day will ever forget it. I certainly won’t. I could be a journalist for another 30 years and I really doubt I’ll feel such raw emotion and energy as I felt in the room that day.

The Pillar Room on the grounds of Dublin’s Rotunda Hospital had become almost a second home for me, and a handful of other media colleagues, for the guts of a year. Not to mention the families of the victims, some of whom came every single day. And the lawyers. And the jury. And the coroner.
