Stardust families to get report

FAMILIES of victims of the Stardust nightclub fire are to receive a report on the disaster today.

The Government-commissioned report by barrister Paul Coffey examines the families’ case for a new public inquiry into the inferno which claimed the lives of 48 young people and injured more than 200 at a Valentine’s night disco in 1981.

Stardust Victims’ Committee spokeswoman Antoinette Keegan, who lost two sisters in the blaze, said they were hopeful the report would back the families’ call.
