Furious Stardust families demand report

FAMILIES of victims of the Stardust nightclub fire have reacted with fury after discovering the Government has been sitting on the latest report on the disaster for weeks without being informing.

They are demanding that the report, which they hope will conclude there are sufficient grounds to warrant the holding of a fresh inquiry into the blaze, be published and acted upon without further delay.

Barrister Paul Coffey was appointed by the Government last summer to examine the families’ case for a new public inquiry into the inferno which claimed the lives of 48 young people and injured over 200 at a Valentine’s night disco in 1981.
