Stardust victims’ families in meetings with legal team

A CONFIDENTIAL meeting between Stardust victims’ families and the recently established legal team overseeing an external examination of the 1981 fire tragedy took place yesterday.

Further meetings, which represent a significant step in the 27-year campaign for answers, will continue today with members of the Stardust Victims’ Committee scheduled to make representations to senior counsel John Gallagher.

Last night, committee spokeswoman Antoinette Keegan, who met with Mr Gallagher yesterday, declined to comment on the meeting.
