Stardust report brings families ‘peace of mind’

GERTRUDE Barrett popped into Arnott’s on the way to Government Buildings yesterday to pick up two pairs of extra-thick ski socks in the sale.

After being let down so many times in her fight for justice for the victims of the Stardust fire, she wasn’t assuming the latest report into the disaster would provide any comfort.

“I thought I might be picketing the Dáil again next week so I said I better be prepared. My feet nearly froze a few times,” she said, laughing at her unnecessary purchases.
