Stardust relatives call for State apology and inquiry

RELATIVES of the Stardust victims last night called for a State apology and new inquiry after a Prime Time investigation claimed the original tribunal into the tragedy “misdirected itself”.

Speaking in the Dáil before the programme was aired, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said the Government would consider how to formalise a new inquiry if new information emerged.

Mr Ahern said he was available to meet relatives, but stopped short of committing to a Commission of Inquiry.
